A photonic crystal microcavity with a tunable quality factor (Q factor) has been implemented on the basis of a bound state in the continuum using the advanced liquid crystal cell technology platform. It has been shown that the Q factor of the microcavity changes from 100 to 360 in the voltage range of 0.6 V.

A liquid crystal cell is used to produce correlated light beams with speckle structures for implementation of pseudo-thermal ghost imaging. The liquid crystal cell makes it possible to provide random spatial intensity distributions, which are characterized by a low coefficient of mutual cross correlations. Ghost imaging of an object representing an amplitude mask is demonstrated. The quality of the reconstructed images was estimated by the method of structural similarity.
