Programmable Lens Systems with Liquid Crystals Elastomers for High Capacity and Wide Steering Angle Wireless Optical Link
This work demonstrates the use of light sensitive Liquid Crystal Elastomers to reposition a lens realizing a wide scan angle transmitter for optical wireless communication systems. Steering is achieved by using photoheating. Experimental results confirm error-free 10 Gbps OOK transmission at up to 15° steering. ©2025 The Author(s)
