Description
Electrically controllable Raman-Nath phase diffraction grating has been fabricated in a very simple way using photopolymerizable liquid crystals. The efficiency of the first-order diffraction peak has been measured with the variation of the polarization angle of the incident light as well as with the variation of an applied electric field. Dynamic response and the relaxation dynamics of the first-order peak were measured by applying a dc electric field on and off, respectively, and were found to be very fast
