Popis: | The authors develop an original and promising method of suppressing the speckle- noise in images generated by a laser beam by means of a compact despeckler based on an electro-optical cell with the smectic ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC), realizing spatially inhomogeneous phase modulation of light. The mechanisms of destruction of the phase relations in the laser beam passing through a cell with helix-free FLC are discussed. The electric field induces the light scattering and small-scale randomly distributed gradients of the refractive index in FLC layer. The features and benefits of a despeckler using helix-free FLC compared to helix FLC are indicated. |
