ELECTRO-OPTICS OF LIQUID CRYSTALS: MODELING AND DEVICE DESIGN

Catalog description

(Slashed with MTSC 62643 ) Apply knowledge of liquid crystals and optics to the design of liquid crystal electro-optical devices. Emphasis is on modeling of devices and the use of that modeling to optimize device characteristics. Several particular device designs are considered to familiarize students with the state of the art in electro-optical applications of liquid crystals and to prepare them to advance the art in future designs.
