Photonic materials, displays, light sources, and other systems and devices, engineered to provide the manipulation of light from micro- and nano-structured materials. Liquid Crystal Laser In this research theme light-emitting and light-modulating materials are developed and integrated with silicon microelectronics to form new high-performance optical systems. Examples include:High-resolution microdisplays from polymer organic light-emitting diodes (P-OLEDs)The development of ferroelectric liquid crystal over silicon (LCOS) spatial light modulators (SLMs) for holography and structured light applicationsLow-cost organic tuneable lasers from self-organising chiral liquid crystal microcavities, for displays and biomedical applicationsLiquid crystal adaptive focus lenses for optical imagingDigital 3D holographic display systemsVisible light communicationsResearch ProjectsMicrodisplaysLiquid Crystal LasersDigital 3D holographic projectionVisible light data communicationsResearch FacilitiesThe Scottish Microelectronics Centre (SMC) cleanroom fabrication facilitiesDedicated optics and laser research laboratoriesSoft materials fabrication and rapid prototyping lab This article was published on 2024-09-15
