Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) exhibits natural hyperbolic dispersion in the infrared (IR) wavelength spectrum. In particular, the hybridization of its hyperbolic phonon polaritons (HPPs) and surface plasmon resonances (SPRs) induced by metallic nanostructures is expected to serve as a new platform for novel light manipulation. In this study, the transmission properties of embedded hBN in metallic one-dimensional (1D) nanoslits were theoretically investigated using a rigorous coupled wave analysis method. Extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) was observed in the type-II Reststrahlen band, which was attributed to the hybridization of HPPs in hBN and SPRs in 1D nanoslits. The calculated electric field distributions indicated that the unique Fabry–Pérot-like resonance was induced by the hybridization of HPPs and SPRs in an embedded hBN cavity. The trajectory of the confined light was a zigzag owing to the hyperbolicity of hBN, and its resonance number depended primarily on the aspect ratio of the 1D nanoslit. Such an EOT is also independent of the slit width and incident angle of light. These findings can not only assist in the development of improved strategies for the extreme confinement of IR light but may also be applied to ultrathin optical filters, advanced photodetectors, and optical devices.

Polymer Dispersed

The electro-optical properties of polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films are highly dependent on the features of the contained liquid crystal (LC) droplets. Cholesteric LC droplets with homeotropic boundaries can form several topologically different orientational structures, including ones with single and more point defects, layer-like, and axisymmetric twisted toroidal structures. These structures are very sensitive to an applied electric field. In this work, we have demonstrated experimentally and by computer simulations that twisted toroidal droplets reveal strong structural response to the electric field. In turn, this leads to vivid changes in the optical texture in crossed polarizers. The response of droplets of different sizes were found to be equivalent in terms of dimensionless parameters. In addition, the explanation of this phenomenon showed a comparison of theoretical and experimental structural response curves aids to determine the shape of the droplet. Finally, we demonstrated that the addition of a dichroic dye allows such films to be used as optical filters with adjustable color even without polarizers.

Color Control

A system for inspecting flat panel displays (FPDs) acquires scanning images using multiline charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras and industrial machine vision. Optical filters are currently installed in front of these inspection systems to obtain high-quality images. However, the combination of optical filters required is determined manually and by using empirical methods; this is referred to as passive color control. In this study, active color control is proposed for inspecting FPDs. This inspection scheme requires the scanning of images, which is achieved using a mixed color light source and a mixing algorithm. The light source utilizes high-power light emitting diodes (LEDs) of multiple colors and a communication port to dim their level. Mixed light illuminates an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) panel after passing through a beam expander and after being shaped into a line beam. The image quality is then evaluated using the Tenenbaum gradient after intensity calibration of the scanning images. The dimming levels are determined using the simplex search method which maximizes the image quality. The color of the light was varied after every scan of an AMOLED panel, and the variation was iterated until the image quality approached a local maximization. The number of scans performed was less than 225, while the number of dimming level combinations was 20484. The proposed method can reduce manual tasks in setting-up inspection machines, and hence is useful for the inspection machines in FPD processes.
