強誘電性液晶を使用したフォトリフラクティブ効果における新規光導電性キラルドーパントの開発

Photorefractive (PR) effect is one of hologram formation method. In a previous study, fast PR effect was observed in ferroelectric liquid crystals (FLC) because the macroscopic polarization (spontaneous polarization) responds directly to the photo-induced electric field. In this study, we synthesized a new C8-3T-ML (methyl- (L) -Lactate), which has a higher dipole moment than conventional ones, in order to further speed up the PR effect.
