Orthogonally stacked dye-doped liquid crystal modulators: a coupled complex Jones matrix model and synergistic optimization of transmittance and contrast ratio

Dye-doped liquid crystal (DDLC) modulators are critical for smart windows and automotive displays, yet suffer from an inherent trade-off between transmittance and contrast ratio. Conventional optical models neglect the coupling between polarisation rotation and anisotropic absorp...
