The method for orientation of liquid crystals in a micro/nano region on the basis of laser direct writing and a system thereof includes a laser direct writing system employed to build a micro/nano structure. Liquid crystal molecules in a micro/nano structural region perform self-orientation; and the orientation of liquid crystals is generated by fine structures on side walls of polymer strips which form the micro/nano structure. The dimension of the micro/nano region varies from the micrometer magnitude to the nanometer magnitude exceeding the diffraction limit. The orientating direction can be adjusted and controlled in the micro/nano region, which is favorable for the miniaturization of the liquid crystal display devices and the orientation of the complicated three-dimensional liquid crystal structure.

Method for orientation of liquid crystals in micro/nano region on basis of laser direct writing and system thereof

The invention relates to the information storage. It consists of a computer, a precise rotary table, a writing laser source, a readout laser source, a spatial filter, a spatial light modulator, lens, mirrors, photorefractive crystals (such as doubly doped lithium niobate), and a phase-mismatch adjustor; Due to used a green light (532 nm) as the writing light, and a red light (670 nm) as the readout light, the signal-to-noise ratio is improved greatly and the problem of fixing the stored information is solved. The transmission configuration is used to realize the high-density digital storage in which the irregular lens is designed to work as a phase-mismatch adjustor and read out the whole stored image with no distortion and loss. The dynamically differential encoding and decoding technique is used to suppress the bit-error-rate to lower than 10 .
