Abstract

The manufacturing technology of many types of thin-film polarizers and options of their application assign such polarizers to the liquid crystals sciences. We present an analytical review of patent and scientific publications on the development of thin-film (no more than a few micrometers) linear and circular polarizers based on different physical principles (absorption dichroism, anisotropic luminescence, double refraction, reflection and scattering). The review is divided into two parts. The second part of the review describes structures and media, such as lyotropic and thermotropic liquid crystals, photoanisotropic materials, materials polarization-anisotropic light scattering or anisotropic fluorescence, and other media. Polarizers based on lyotropic liquid crystals, media with polarization-anisotropic optical properties, metallic grid structures, and media based on anisotropic luminescence are of greatest practical interest. To create patterned polarization structures with kinematic color and/or stereoscopic effects, lyotropic compositions in combination with photo-orientation are in highest demand, which is currently widely used for photo-orientation of thermotropic liquid crystals.

薄膜偏振器:特性与技术。第1部分

许多类型的薄膜偏振器的制造技术和它们的应用选择将这样的偏振器分配给液晶科学。我们对基于不同物理原理(吸收二色性、各向异性发光、双折射、反射和散射)的薄膜(不超过几微米)线性和圆形偏振器的专利和科学出版物进行了分析综述。回顾分为两个部分。第二部分介绍了结构和介质，如溶致性和热致性液晶、光各向异性材料、材料偏振-各向异性光散射或各向异性荧光以及其他介质。基于溶向液晶的偏振器、具有偏振-各向异性光学性质的介质、金属网格结构和基于各向异性发光的介质具有很大的实际意义。为了制造具有运动色彩和/或立体效果的图像化极化结构，最需要的是与光取向相结合的溶致成分，目前广泛用于热致液晶的光取向。

期刊介绍： Optics and Spectroscopy (Optika i spektroskopiya), founded in 1956, presents original and review papers in various fields of modern optics and spectroscopy in the entire wavelength range from radio waves to X-rays. Topics covered include problems of theoretical and experimental spectroscopy of atoms, molecules, and condensed state, lasers and the interaction of laser radiation with matter, physical and geometrical optics, holography, and physical principles of optical instrument making.
