A self-healing ferroelectric liquid crystal electro-optic shutter based on vertical surface-relief grating alignment

Ferroelectric liquid crystals (FLCs) have faster optical response times than nematic crystals, but they are also less robust to external shock. Here the authors develop an FLC geometry that reduces the sensitivity to external disruption through self-healing, making them more stable for applications.
