  • Device with switchable, chiral optical properties, means for polarization modulation, and related method
    Patent number: 10241353
    Abstract: A device with switchable, chiral optical characteristics, has a first chiral arrangement with a first arrangement layer with at least one first nanostructure and a second arrangement layer with at least one second nanostructure. The first nanostructure and the second nanostructure are arranged relative to one another such that the chiral arrangement is chiral. A switching material with switchable dielectric characteristics is arranged between the first arrangement layer and the second arrangement layer.
