Ashley Lloyd, Brian S Wherrett

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Optical switches at power levels as low as 14 μW, allowing bistable operation with compact disk laser systems, are reported in optimized cavities containing planar‐aligned nematic liquid crystals.
