Paper Abstract
There are two switching processes where observe in polymer-dispersed liquid crystals (PDLC) when pulse electric field applied: - Slow switching process with rise time hundreds microseconds; - Fast switching process with nanoseconds rise time. The result of research, design and testing ultra-fast PDLC optical gate is presented. The feasibility of 100 nsec rise time optical gate with 1 square inch crystal clear transmission (better than 1.54 dB) and attenuation in OFF state more than 26 dB (30.4 dB for two serial layers) for non-polarized light has been shown.
