Exemplary thin-film optical devices have first and second layer groups disposed as a layer stack on a substrate. The first layer group comprises a first PPN layer, a first LCP layer, and a first barrier layer all superposed. The second layer group is superposed relative to the first layer group, and includes a second PPN layer, a second LCP layer, and a second barrier layer all superposed. The first and second layer groups cooperate to polarize multiple wavelengths of an incident light flux in a broadband and/or wide-angle manner. Each of the layer groups has an alignment layer, a respective liquid-crystal polymer layer, and a barrier layer.
示例性薄膜光学器件具有第一和第二层组,它们作为层堆叠放置在基底上。第一层组包括叠加的第一 PPN 层、第一 LCP 层和第一阻挡层。第二层组相对于第一层组叠加,包括全部叠加的第二 PPN 层、第二 LCP 层和第二阻挡层。第一和第二层组相互配合,以宽带和/或广角方式偏振入射光流的多个波长。每个层组都有一个对准层、一个各自的液晶聚合物层和一个阻挡层。
