This study demonstrates liquid crystal manipulation of a high-aspect-ratio topological grating for beam splitters. Voltage control dynamically adjusts the refractive index, shifting photonic jets and altering diffraction patterns. This great potential for low-voltage beam splitters in immersive technologies is highlighted.
