Abstract :
Liquid crystal (LC) microlens could be a new type of micro optical components driven by an optical field. In this study, formation behavior of LC microlens was explored by doping several fluorescent dyes to reduce photo-thermal effect. Among the dyes, coumarin derivative-doped LC system showed lens effect with polarization selectivity.
