Polarization Dependence of Optical Characteristics of the Microcavity Based on Macroporous Silicon Infiltrated with Liquid Crystals

摘要

Microcavity based on macroporous silicon infiltrated with liquid crystals is described theoretically using the proposed model. We use construction of electrical contacts, which allows apply electrical field perpendicularly to the pore axis. Various cases of the pore size and different pre-orientation of liquid crystal molecules are considered. Reflection spectra for two orthogonal polarizations of the incident light are calculated. We also study electrical tunability of the microcavity resonance wavelength
