Abstract
We propose and demonstrate a liquid crystal (LC) based terahertz phase shifter with a thick (550 μm in total) bi-layer LC cell structure incorporating a thin transparent polymeric intermediate layer. The present phase shifter exhibited remarkable performance improvement. The phase shift increased from 94o to 111o; threshold and drive voltages decreased from 2.2 VRMS to 1 VRMS and from 10 VRMS to 8.4 VRMS, respectively, in comparison with those for single-layer cell structure.
