The present work explains simulation and experimental investigation of the most significant performance parameters of a ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) optical switch. The measurements were carried out with commercially available FLC mixture (θ = 22.5°), having a very fast response time within the range of 1–10 μs. The best achieved cross talk was ~19 dB, which is an exact match with the theoretical result.

This paper describes an experimental investigation into the effects of geometrical variations on ejector system performance when the driving nozzle includes delta mixing tabs. Mixing tabs have been shown to provide good mixing performance with comparable back-pressure penalties to other types of enhanced mixing nozzles. The performance parameters of most interest are pumping, mixing, and back-pressure. Geometric parameters studied include standoff distance, mixing-tube diameter, and tab angle. Experimental testing showed significant performance improvements in mixing and pumping with a decrease in tab angle. Maximum mixing was found to occur with tab angles positioned at 120°. Exceptional mixing was also observed with increased standoff. Back-pressure was shown to increase with increasing standoff and decreasing tab angle, but was not affected by mixing-tube diameter. In addition, a zone of recirculation was identified at the entrance to the mixing-tube. This zone is thought to have an influence on ejector performance.
