Custom Liquid crystals components
HOASYS manufactures electro-optical components, based on organic materials, especially liquid crystals.
The high birefringence of liquid crystal layers allows controlling light properties (phase, intensity, polarization and spectral filtering) under electrical and/or optical driving and with low energy consumption.
The driving electronics is embedded in our electro-optical components, which are controlled by using a standard USB connection.
For OEM applications or for research laboratories, HOASYS electro-optical components can be fiber-coupled if requested.
