Control of topological defects in microstructured liquid crystal cells
We study how the propagation of light inside recently developed micro-structured cells, can be actively tuned by polarising the nanoscale defects in the nematic liquid crystals they contain. Our 'planar-spherical' cells are formed by assembling a planar and a gold-coated hemispherical micr...
