Optically and Electrically Controlled Circularly Polarized Emission from Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Materials Doped with Semiconductor Quantum Dots

Novel types of electro- and photoactive quantum dot-doped cholesteric materials have been engineered. UV-irradiation or electric field application allows one to control the degree of circular polarization and intensity of fluorescence emission by prepared quantum dot-doped liquid crystal films.
