Abstract

We have demonstrated an electrically tunable nematic liquid crystal Fabry-Perot (NLC FP) filter which is completely insensitive to the input polarization in the whole range of tuning. The NLC molecules are aligned in a hybrid configuration with axial symmetry. An additional transparent layer of the UV curable polymer between two substrates improves the wavelength selectivity as well as the tuning speed.
