Liquid Crystal and Photons

  • seehp     2nd Aug 2010 Member 0 Permalink
    I didn't have time to play around with liquid crystal until now. I had expected it to allow photons to pass or block them depending on its status.
    Would anyone like that behaviour, too?

    Yes, I agree that this should be the behavior as this is how liquid crystal behaves in real life as well. Typically, when liquid crystal is off, it passes light, and when it's on, it blocks light.

    Okay, would somebody please give this thread some consideration? At least? I honestly think that seehp has a very good, useful idea here.

    Awesome! You know what this is making me think of? A single-px gate for photons! So many potential uses...
