Optimal liquid crystal modulation controlled by surface alignment and anchoring strength

Spatial modulation of liquid crystals can be controlled and adjusted by light polarization, the degree of pretilt on the substrates, anchoring strength, and the experimental geometry. In particular, strong anchoring can affect the liquid crystal orientation in opposite ways, depending on the polariz...
