The Liquid Crystal Devices Department is an international leader in developing compact, low power, and high performance liquid crystal-based electro-optic components. These components are critical for a wide range of handheld, airborne, and space applications. To meet challenging customer requirements, we combine extensive materials science, simulation, and engineering capabilities in high-speed liquid crystals, low-loss transparent conductors, and birefringent optics. Important device applications include agile beam steering and line-of-sight beam stabilization, wavefront controllers, and agile filters for sensor protection. Most of these devices have a sub-millisecond switching speed in the near-IR wavelength region.

We also have extensive experience in integrating devices and subsystems into high resolution imaging sensors and free-space laser communication systems. Volume production capabilities have been established in the area of compensation films for flat panel avionics and liquid crystal projection displays. A broad intellectual property portfolio supports these technologies.
