Working Principle of Liquid Crystal Optical Attenuator

Home / Working Principle of Liquid Crystal Optical Attenuator

Liquid crystal modulators are a type of optical modulator which utilize liquid crystals to control the intensity, phase, or polarization of light. Nematic liquid crystals are birefringent materials whose effective birefringence can be changed by varying an applied voltage. The attenuator circuit will allow a known source of power to be reduced by a predetermined factor, which is usually expressed as decibels.
