Liquid crystal (LC) has been widely used for optical components in visible light range. However, it is short of optical components in the terahertz (THz) frequency range. Our group had demonstrated an electrically controlled liquid crystal THz phase shifter. Because the LC layer of these THz components is thick, the response time is very slow. In this thesis, the response time is improved by using dual-frequency liquid crystal with different dielectric anisotropy at different applying frequencies. In this work, the dual-frequency liquid crystal THz phase shifter has been demonstrated. The turn back response time of this THz phase shifter is fast, but the turn on response time is very slow. By using switching frequency between 500Hz and 100kHz in a homeotropically aligned dual-frequency liquid crystal THz phase shifter, we have successed in reducing the response time up to 5 ﹪.
