Tunable photonic crystals (TPCs) represent an important class of intelligent materials, which
can be used as optically active components and as functional technology to change an …

Despite the wide application of liquid crystals (LCs) in the visible frequency range, their
properties in the terahertz range have not yet been extensively investigated. In this paper we …

A composite layer of homogeneously aligned liquid crystal (LC) doped with nano or
mesoporous microparticles (NMPs) has been shown to act as normally opaque smart …

Recently, tunable photonic crystals (PhCs) have received great research interest, thanks to
the wide range of applications in which they can be employed, such as light emission and …

In this study, we propose the fabrication and characterization of nanoparticle based
multilayer photonic crystals infiltrated with a nematic liquid crystal. We show a very simple …

We suggest a new construction of spin-VCSEL with an embedded nematic liquid crystal (LC)
in a second cavity. We design such a coupled-cavity LC-VCSEL and develop a procedure …

Composite materials containing liquid crystalline microstructures, providing fast stimuli
responsive variations of birefringence at low consumption power, have great potential …

We investigated the influence of blue light (λ= 450nm) on the optical properties of porous
polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films filled with a nematic liquid crystal (E7). In …

In this study, we propose the fabrication and the electro-optical characterization of
nanoparticle-based multilayer photonic crystals infiltrated with a nematic liquid crystal. Two …

The ability of liquid crystals (LCs) to flow and fill nanopores assists in using them for
infiltration into porous nanophotonic structures such as nanostructured porous silicon …
