Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal Fabry-Perot etalon comprising: a first substrate coated on a first side with a first transparent conductor layer; a first reflector layer disposed over the first transparent conductor layer on the first side of the first substrate; an alignment layer disposed over the first transparent conductor layer on the first side of the first substrate; a second transparent conductor layer; liquid crystal filled in between the alignment layer and the second transparent conductor layer; and a second substrate coated on a first side with a second reflector layer, the first side of the second substrate facing the first side of the first substrate, the second substrate being connected either directly or indirectly to the first substrate; wherein the first transparent conductor layer and the second transparent conductor layer are each etched so as to form multiple independent etalons.
