The effect of ultraviolet polarization direction and temperature on the retardation dispersion of a self-organized smectic reactive mesogen film

Research output: Contribution to conferenceConference paperpeer-review

Abstract

In this study, we investigated the effect of ultraviolet (UV) polarization direction and UV curing temperature on the retardation dispersion during photopolymerization of a selfassembly smectic reactive mesogen (RM) compound. The RM retarder film fabricated with unpolarized UV light showed a positive dispersion (PD) of retardation. Also the film that was photopolymerized with UV light linearly polarized orthogonal to the layer plane showed a non-uniform negative dispersion (ND). On the other hand, the film photopolymerized with UV light linearly polarized parallel to the layer plane showed a ND of retardation with decreasing UV-photopolymerization temperatures.
