  • Abstract
    The new approach to an elaboration of liquid crystals (LC) tuned THz devices, based on usage of shear flows, is proposed. Flows are considered as more universal tool of LC orientation in the comparison with the action of properly treated surfaces. In particular, they can be used for an orientation of both thin and thick (of order 1mm) LC layers. High sensitivity of LC to the flows makes possible to elaborate LC devices of new types - terafluidics.
