Todays’ electronics are limited by their ability to modulate light for communication systems, but a new approach to polarization-independent liquid crystal (LC) phase modulation may be the key to unlocking higher data transmission rates. Developed by a team of researchers from the Institute of Electronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, this approach can be used to modulate the phase of an incident light beam with a wide range of angles of incidence, making it extremely useful for communication systems. The results of this research could lead to higher data transmission rates and enhanced performance of electronic devices.
