Electrically tunable laser based on oblique heliconical cholesteric liquid crystal.
A cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) formed by chiral molecules represents a self-assembled one-dimensionally periodic helical structure with pitch [Formula: see text] in the submicrometer and micrometer range. Because of the spatial periodicity of the dielectric permittivity, a CLC doped with a fluorescent dye and pumped optically is capable of mirrorless lasing. An attractive feature of a CLC l...
متن کاملSwitchable reflective lens based on cholesteric liquid crystal.
We demonstrated a switchable reflective lens based on choleteric liquid crystal (CLC) with a plano-convex shape. The plano-convex CLC lens was fabricated by assembling a planar substrate and a concave substrate. The reflective CLC lens exhibits wavelength selectivity and handedness sensitivity like the conventional CLC cell. The plano-convex CLC lens acts as a biconvex lens with the same curvat...
متن کاملHelix unwinding of doped cholesteric liquid crystals
By introducing benzoyl–benzene into a cholesteric liquid crystal, the helix unwinding voltage was reduced. This reduction was roughly proportional to the concentration of the dopant and was present for driving frequencies across the audio spectrum. It is believed that this voltage reduction is primarily due to a perturbation of the intermolecular coupling in the liquid crystal mixture. It was f...
متن کاملCholesteric Liquid Crystal Flakes—a New Form
LLE Review, Volume 74 139 The last 20 years have seen a growth of mixed-media systems in which cholesteric liquid crystals (CLC’s) are one component. These include polymer-dispersed CLC’s1 in which the CLC’s are confined to microdroplets within a continuous isotropic polymer and CLC’s in gels2 in which there is a small amount of polymer to stabilize the CLC structure. In either case, the contin...
متن کاملEnhancing cholesteric liquid crystal laser performance using a cholesteric reflector.
A high performance dye-doped cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) laser is demonstrated by incorporating a passive CLC reflector to the active cell. The polarization-conserved CLC reflector effectively increases the distributed feedback cavity length which, in turn, results in a significant enhancement in lasing efficiency and a dramatic reduction in beam divergence. The lasing characteristics are ...
