Abstract

We developed a broad band achromatic linear polarization switch for visible and near infrared radiation. The achromatic switch is based on a twisted nematic cell filled with a dual-frequency nematic material. The switch is capable of fast switching linearly polarized light between two orthogonal directions with a switching time in the millisecond range.
