Abstract

International audience; Artificially engineered geometric phase optical elements may have tunable photonic functionalities owing to their sensitivity to external fields, as is the case for liquid crystal based devices. However, liquid crystal technology combining high-resolution topological ordering with tunable spectral behavior remains elusive. Here, by using a magnetoelectric external stimulus, we create robust and efficient self-engineered liquid crystal geometric phase vortex masks with a broadly tunable operating wavelength, centimeter-size clear aperture, and high-quality topological ordering.
