Microshells: Photoresponsive Monodisperse Cholesteric Liquid Crystalline Microshells for Tunable Omnidirectional Lasing Enabled by a Visible Light‐Driven Chiral Molecular Switch (Advanced Optical Materials 9/2014)
Source abstract
Abstract
A self-organized, phototunable 3D photonic superstructure is fabricated from a photoresponsive 1D liquid crystal using microfluidics. On page 845, Q. Li and co-workers show how the resulting monodisperse microshells are water-oil-water double emulsions, in which the oil phase consists of the photoresponsive liquid crystals. The cholesteric microshells exhibit band-edge lasing in all directions, and the wavelength of the resultant band-edge laser is tuned via the pumping laser, causing photoisomerization of the chiral molecular switch.
