Liquid crystals (LCs), as the remarkable optical materials possessing stimuli-responsive
property and optical modulation property simultaneously, have been utilized to fabricate a …

Continuous-wave (CW) lasing is still difficult to realize in organic laser dyes, one reason
being the thermal degradation caused by intense photoexcitation. A decrease in laser …

In this paper, a tetrahydro [5] helicene-based imide dye with thienyl group (THID) was
studied on its solvatochromism and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties by …

Metastable topological states are known to arise when chiral liquid crystal (CLC) is infiltrated
in a geometry with strong confinement. This study demonstrates an alternative approach to …

Random lasing was experimentally investigated in pyrromethene 597-doped strongly
disordered chiral liquid crystals (CLCs) composed of the nematic liquid crystal SLC1717 and …

This work investigates the emission chirality of a chiral distributed Bragg reflector (DBR)
laser, which is composed by incorporating an isotropic medium containing laser dye …

As a new research hotspot in nano-materials and nano-structures, photoluminescence is
widely used in medical imaging, biosensors, integrated devices and other fields because of …

The out-of-normal emission in cholesteric liquid-crystal lasers is studied experimental and
theoretically. Apart from the well-known dominant laser in the direction of the helix axis …

Chiral nematic liquid crystals (CLCs) are highly promising tunable photonic materials that
own various states and exhibit different optical properties in each state. The natural …

An electrically switchable band-edge laser has been demonstrated in a dye-doped polymer-
stabilised blue phase liquid crystal. The light intensity of the laser can be tuned in three …
