Abstract
A holographically-formed polymer-dispersed liquid crystal is reported with two distinctive reflective states brought about by a single laser exposure of a liquid crystal-rich emulsion. The two reflective states are the result of two structurally different domains that are formed during the holographic cure. A simple phenomenological model is presented that describes the dual-domain effect.Keywords
