Fabrication of Anisotropic Resin Polarizers with Liquid Crystal via Vat Photopolymerization for Enhanced Optical Steganography
This research investigates the integration of liquid crystals into resin-based polarizers fabricated via vat photopolymerization to enhance anisotropic optical properties. By systematically optimizing the interaction between liquid crystal alignment and resin matrix parameters, the project aims to improve the performance of polarizers in the context of optical steganography. The study will explore how these hybrid structures can facilitate more efficient encoding and decoding of concealed optical data. This study has the potential to advance optical steganography by providing novel insights into liquid crystal-polarizer behavior, with broader implications for data encryption, secure communications, and information protection technologies.
