Abstract
We demonstrate the use of a switchable circular-to-point converter (SCPC) device based on holographic polymer-dispersed liquid-crystal technology for application in lidar detection and optical telecommunication. A SCPC device converts the Fabry–Perot ring pattern into a single point or an array of points, while an external electrical field on the SCPC deactivates the conversion. Stacking different SCPC elements gives a random optical switch for applications in lidar detection and optical telecommunication. Two types of SCPC designs are analyzed and one is chosen and built for testing.
