Abstract

We report that the isothermal phase transition induced by photo-isomerization of azobenzene liquid crystals (azo-LCs) from trans- to cis-isomers results in the dissolution of poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) into azo-LCs. All-optically controllable and highly efficient scattering mode light modulators based on PVK films and its re-form mechanism were demonstrated.
