Abstract

We report on a polarization-insensitive liquid crystal (LC) Fresnel lens with the centrosymmetry of dynamic focusing in an orthogonally alternating hybrid configuration. The polarization-insensitive Fresnel lens having such successive orthogonal hybrid alignment in two adjacent zones was fabricated using a single-masking process through two-step exposure of a linearly polarized ultraviolet light. It was found that the dynamic focusing property of the LC Fresnel lens is electrically controllable and entirely centrosymmetrical irrespective of the polarization state of an incident light.
