Unconventional High-Performance Laser Protection System Based on Dichroic Dye-Doped Cholesteric Liquid Crystals
High-performance and cost-effective laser protection system is of crucial importance for the rapid advance of lasers in military and civilian fields leading to severe damages of human eyes and sensitive optical devices. However, it is crucially hindered by the angle-dependent protective effect and the complex preparation process. Here we demonstrate that angle-independence, good processibility,...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation of Laser Emission of Dye-Doped Cholesteric Liquid Crystals with a Cholesteric Reflector
Dye-doped cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) behaves like a one-dimensional photonic crystal laser when pumped by a second harmonic Nd-YAG pulsed laser. Usually circularly polarized laser light in the same sense as the cholesteric helix is emitted from both directions of the lasing cell. In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate the laser emission enhancement and investigate the corresponding ...
متن کاملPhoto-patterning micro-mirror devices using azo dye-doped cholesteric liquid crystals.
A simple method for fabricating patternable micro-mirror devices by photo-induced alignment of dye-doped cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) is demonstrated. The CLC texture can be changed from random distribution to nearly perfect planar by the photo-excited adsorbed dyes. This structure transformation leads to a substantial reflectivity increase. Using this photo-patterning technique, one- and t...
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 کاملBand-tunable color cone lasing emission based on dye-doped cholesteric liquid crystals with various pitches and a pitch gradient.
This study elucidates, for the first time, a novel band-tunable color cone lasing emission (CCLE) based on dye-doped cholesteric liquid crystal (DDCLC) films with various pitches. For several CLC cells with different pitches it was shown experimentally that the lasing band on the CCLE can be tuned among various color regions measured within different angular ranges. Some important features of t...
