Computer analysis of the influence of technological parameters of a high–speed liquid crystal modulator on its integral characteristics

Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this article is a computer analysis of various designs of LC light modulators. Based on the integrated characteristics of the LC modulator, its optimal design is found. It was shown that the LC modulator based on the LC structure with a twist angle of 270° under antisymmetric boundary conditions with small values of the pretilt angles on the orienting substrates, operating in the waveguide mode and using a phase film compensator, has optimal integral characteristics. The results of comparing the integral characteristics of the LC modulator based on various LC structures are presented.
