Особого внимания заслуживает разработка поляризационно-независимых ЖК линз, так как позволяет исключить из прикладных устройств поляризаторы, которые снижают эффективность прохождения света сквозь оптические системы. Разработаны ориентирующие бензальдегидные фоточувствительные материалы, способные изменять углы преднаклона нематических жидких кристаллов от 90 до 0 º контролируемым образом под действием ультрафиолетового (УФ) экспонирующего излучения. Генерация анизотропии бензальдегидных ориентирующих слоев осуществлялась путем двухстадийной обработки, состоящей из однородного натирания тканью и последующего неполяризационного УФ экспонирования. Неоднородное УФ облучение однородно натертых тканью ориентирующих слоев позволяет сформировать градиент показателя преломления внутри ЖК ячейки. Продемонстрирован принцип изготовления управляемых поляризационно-независимых самосовмещенных ЖК линз на основе градиентных ориентирующих материалов с различным порогом фоточувствительности. Самосовмещение двух поляризационно-зависимых суб-линз обеспечивается благодаря простому единичному акту УФ экспонирования двух ориентирующих слоев, которые располагались по обе стороны одной стеклянной подложки, формируя общую оптическую ось поляризационно-независимых ЖК линз. Независимость от поляризации ЖК линз достигалась путем задания азимутального направления натирания ориентирующих слоев двух поляризационно-зависимых ЖК линз перпендикулярными друг другу. Ячейки суб-линз характеризовались однородным зазором, а их управление осуществлялось независимым образом с использованием низких управляющих напряжений. Устройства, изготавливаемые на основе градиентных бензальдегидных ориентирующих материалов, могут быть использованы в различных современных оптических и фотонных устройствах.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The development of electrically tunable liquid crystal (LC) lenses is perspective and promising for a wide range of applications, for example, for imaging system, pico projectors, optical zoom systems, ophthalmology applications and other. Of particular note is the development of polarization-independent LC lenses, as eliminates polarizers from application devices that reduce the efficiency of light transmission through optical systems. Alignment benzaldehyde photosensitive materials, capable of changing the pretilt angles of nematic LC from 90 to 0 ºС in a controlled manner under UV exposure are developed. The anisotropy of the benzaldehyde alignment layers is generated by a two-stage treatment consisting of uniform rubbing with a cloth and subsequent non-polarized UV exposure. Inhomogeneous UV exposure of uniformly rubbed alignment layers allows formation of refractive index gradient inside the LC cell. The concept of tunable polarization-independent self-aligned LC lens based on gradient pretilt angle alignment materials with different photosensitivity is demonstrated. Self-alignment of two polarization-dependent sub-lens is achieved due to a single UV exposure act of two alignment layers, which are located on the same piece of glass on both sides, forming one common optical axis for a polarization-independent LC lens. The independence of the polarization of LC lenses is achieved by setting the azimuthal rubbing direction of the alignment layers of two polarizationdependent LC lenses perpendicular to each other. The sub-lens cells have uniform cell gap and are independently controlled using low-voltage driving. Devices based on gradient benzaldehyde alignment materials can be used in many modern optical and photonic devices.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>градиентные ориентирующие материалы</kwd><kwd>угол преднаклона</kwd><kwd>поляризационно-независимая ЖК линза</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Gradient alignment materials</kwd><kwd>pretilt angle</kwd><kwd>polarization-independent LC lens</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Algorri J.F., Bennis N., Urruchi V., Morawiak P., Sánchez-Pena J.M., Jaroszewicz L.R.
