Abstract: A sub-wavelength thin-film metal grating is placed inside a liquid crystal variable optical retarder at a selected distance from a reflective electrode to form a reflective half wave plate, thereby reducing polarization dependence of the optical retardation generated by the variable optical retarder. The approach enables to form within the device the reflective half wave plate that is suitably thin without modifying the reflective electrode of the device.

Abstract: A zoned waveplate has a series of transversely stacked birefringent zones alternating with non-birefringent zones. The birefringent and non-birefringent zones are integrally formed upon an AR-coated face of a single substrate by patterning the AR coated face of the substrate with zero-order sub-wavelength form-birefringent gratings configured to have a target retardance. The layer structure of the AR coating is designed to provide the target birefringence in the patterned zones and the reflection suppression.

Abstract: A reflective diffraction grating and a fabrication method are provided. The reflective diffraction grating includes a substrate, a UV-absorbing layer, a grating layer having a binary surface-relief pattern formed therein, and a conforming reflective layer. Advantageously, the UV-absorbing layer absorbs light at a UV recording wavelength to minimize reflection thereof by the substrate during holographic patterning at the UV recording wavelength.

Abstract: A semiconductor layer structure may include a substrate, a blocking layer disposed over the substrate, and one or more epitaxial layers disposed over the blocking layer. The blocking layer may have a thickness of between 50 nanometers (nm) and 4000 nm. The blocking layer may be configured to suppress defects from the substrate propagating to the one or more epitaxial layers. The one or more epitaxial layers may include a quantum-well layer that includes a quantum-well intermixing region formed using a high temperature treatment.
