Swift Liquid Crystal Variable Retarders

The next generation of liquid crystal variable retarders utilizes a new bulk stabilized polymer liquid crystal formulation. With switching speeds of less than a 150 microseconds in both directions the Swift Liquid Crystal Variable Retarder (SLCVR) is perfect for applications where response time is critical the SLCVRs require a high voltage (< 100 Vrms) 13 kHz square wave of adjustable amplitude that is provided by our D3060HV High Voltage Interface (see page 62). A temperature sensing and control option can be added to our SLCVRs for accurate controlling of the operating temperature. The thermal sensor is attached directly to the SLCVR substrate, outside the clear aperture. Custom SLCVRs are available for a variety of applications.
