The original mixture, generally utilized for the realization of polymer-liquid-crystal-polymer-slices gratings (POLICRYPS), has been enriched with a small amount of silver nanoparticles. The obtained structure shows a spectral response that strongly depends on the polarization of the probing light. These first structures are oriented to the fabrication of devices with metamaterial properties.Liquid crystalsMetallic nanoparticlesDiffraction gratingsPolarization selective devicesSlice Sequence StructureLiquid-CrystalHolographic GratingsNanoparticlesMatrixtext::journal::journal article::research article
