Tuning of emission wavelength in chiral photonic crystals with an anisotropic defect layer

We considered some properties of defect modes in chiral photonic crystals with an anisotropic defect layer at oblique light incidence. The problem was solved by Ambartsumian's layer addition method. We investigated some peculiarities of the discussed system's reflection spectra and also the polarization plane rotation spectra and polarization ellipticity spectra of the oblique light incidence for both the minimum and essential influence of the dielectric borders. Our investigations show that there is a possibility of rather a wide change of the emission wavelength in the subject system by changing the incidence angle, or by changing the doped dye concentration, or by changing the pumping wave intensity. We also investigated absorption (emission) peculiarities at different dye molecule concentration and at different chiral photonic crystal thicknesses.     

Liquid Crystals at Interfaces

The ordering in liquid crystals (LCs) can be influenced by an interface. Some of these molecules adsorbed at the air-water interface yield a stable Langmuir monolayer. They exhibit numerous surface phases, which are classified on the basis of intermolecular separation and ordering. These surface phases are governed by the molecular interactions and the ambient experimental conditions such as temperature, humidity, pH, and ion content of the subphase. In this article, the role of molecular interactions on the surface behavior of several rodlike LCs are discussed. The Langmuir monolayer of a cholesteric LC exhibits an interesting low density liquid (L_1′) phase with tilted molecules. Brewster angle microscopy reveals stripe patterns, which arise due to the precession of the tilted molecules. It is demonstrated that this molecular precession can be controlled by the relative humidity, presence of cations in the subphase, and incorporation of appropriate molecular species. The Langmuir monolayer and Langmuir-Blodgett films of a novel rod-disc hybrid LC are discussed.

Tunable lasing from a cholesteric liquid crystal film embedded with a liquid crystal nanopore network

Continuous tuning of lasing wavelength is achieved in cholesteric liquid crystal lasers by embedding a network of nanopores with an average size of 10 nm filled with liquid crystals inside a polymerized matrix with helical order. The device possesses both high transparency and a fast response time because the tuning is driven by local reorientation of the liquid crystal molecules in the nanopores.
