A systematic analysis of the sample morphology has been carried out on a large number of samples characterized by different values of the photoinitiator concentration and curing parameters. These samples have high transparency to the visible light. However, reorientation of the liquid crystal domains due to the application of a suitable voltage can affect the optical phase shift making these materials suitable as polarization independent "phase only" optical modulators.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPdlc MorphologyElectro-Optical PropertiesPhase-Only ModulationConference Object375N/AN/A397409WOS:000175887200038
