Patent number: 9261745Abstract: A phase retarder comprises first and second ?-cells or other tunable birefringent devices arranged optically in series. The phase retardation value of the phase retarder is a difference between the phase retardation values of the first and second ?-cells. Driving circuitry drives the phase retarder to generate a target phase retardation value by: (1) prior to a relaxation period, biasing the ?-cells to produce the target phase retardation value; (2) during the relaxation period, biasing the first ?-cell at a constant bias value; and (3) during the relaxation period, lowering the bias value of the second ?-cell continuously or stepwise to maintain the target phase retardation value for the phase retarder throughout the relaxation period. In some embodiments the operation (2) comprises applying zero bias to the first ?-cell throughout the relaxation period. In some embodiments the operation (1) comprises applying a maximum operational bias to the second ?-cell.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2013Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: Kent State UniversityInventors: Hsienhui Cheng, Achintya Bhowmik, Philip J.
