 The newly discovered ferroelectric pneumatic liquid has a wide range of physical properties, including high optical susceptibilities and the ability to create polarized light patterns. This makes it ideal for non-linear photonics applications such as photopatterning. By taking advantage of the flexor-electric effect, researchers have been able to create splay structures which can guide polarization and form periodic patterns. These structures offer a promising new way to design and utilize ferroelectric pneumatic liquid-based photonic structures.
