Abstract

The adoption of light emitting diodes by lighting industry is inevitable. They provide many advantages, but one of them is very interesting from the point of view of using liquid crystals: it is the small etendue of these sources. Rather well collimated and small diameter white light beams can be obtained. Here is where liquid crystal lenses can have an important application. We report the development of an optical element that can dynamically stretch broad band beams in one or in orthogonal or in both directions. Thus, we can start from a narrow circular beam and obtain a rectangular shaped beam to fit perfectly the size and the exposure requirements in home, office, architectural or automobile applications. The basics of its operation as well as of its optical performance data will be reported.
