All-Optically Controllable Photonic Crystals Based on Chiral-Azobenzene-Doped Blue Phase Liquid Crystals

All-Optically Controllable Photonic Crystals Based on Chiral-Azobenzene-Doped Blue Phase Liquid Crystals

In this study, the all-optical control properties of photonic crystals based on self-assembled chiral-azobenzene-doped blue phase liquid crystals (CA-BPLCs) were investigated. The difference in the photothermal characteristics of CA-BPLCs with and without homogeneous surface alignment was discussed....
