Abstract
Phase shift exceeding at is demonstrated by using electrically controlled birefringence in a homeotropically aligned nematic liquid crystal (E7) cell, in thickness. The driving voltage required for a phase shift of 90° is (rms). We demonstrate that the phase shifter works as an electrically switchable quarter-wave plate at . The device can also be used as an electrically tuned phase compensator around the quarter-wave point near .
