Optical Recording Method of Patterned Microstructures Based on Liquid Crystal Polymer.

A technique for recording a matrix of ring-shaped microstructures due to the postpolymerization of an already oriented layer of liquid crystal polymer under the influence of a focused intensive light radiation is developed. Using this technique, a microstructures matrix patterned element is realized. The reorientation process of the microstructure with the twist orientation in a homogeneously planar-oriented medium when an electric field is applied is investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
