Patent number: 7701537Abstract: An optical diode. A cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) layer has a selective reflection wavelength band with a left-handed helical structure, and a phase shifter for changing a phase difference between two intrinsic polarized light components of left-handed circularly polarized light having a wavelength within the selective reflection wavelength band of the CLC layer. When left-handed circularly polarized light having a wavelength within the selective reflection wavelength band of the CLC layer is incident on the phase shifter in the optical diode, the phase shifter turns the left-handed circularly polarized light into right-handed circularly polarized light, which can be transmitted through the CLC layer. When left-handed circularly polarized light having a wavelength within the selective reflection wavelength band of the CLC layer is incident on the CLC layer, it is selectively reflected by the CLC layer.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2007Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Assignees: Tokyo Institute of Technology, Nippon Oil CorporationInventors: Hideo Takezoe, Byoungchoo Park, Myoung Hoon Song, Jisoo Hwang, Takehiro Toyooka, Suzushi Nishimura
