= Nematicon
{wiki=Nematicon}
Nematicon is a type of optical switch that uses liquid crystals to control the passage of light. Typically, it consists of a device that can manipulate the light's properties, such as its intensity or phase, by adjusting the orientation of liquid crystal molecules in response to an electric field. This technology leverages the unique characteristics of liquid crystals, allowing for rapid switching and potential applications in telecommunications, displays, and other optical systems.
