AB - A method of fabricating active liquid crystal (LC) devices incorporating  liquid crystal polymer (LCP) films with passivation layers in combination  with conventional LC monomers is presented.  Unlike monomeric LC  waveplates, LCP waveplate stacks can be produced on a single substrate.   Furthermore, the passivation layer is shown to act as an effective  alignment and protective layer for LC monomers and LCPs, thus enabling the  assembly of variable LC components with integrated thin film LCP waveplates  in an LC cell configuration.  Such active devices with thin film waveplate  stacks are useful in applications such as tunable wavelength filters for  wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) communication systems.  The device  fabrication method is used to produce a single-unit, double-pass,  polarization-insensitive variable LC phase modulator (LCPM).
