Photonic application

As discussed in Chapter 5, chiral liquid crystals exhibit modulated groimd states and are therefore self-assembled PEG materials. The simplest of them is the cholesteric liquid crystal, which is a one-dimensional photonic band-gap material if the helical pitch is in the visible wavelength range. As illustrated in Chapter 5, such structure leads to selective reflection rendering a color to the material. The helical—and therefore the color—is sensitive to 

3D photonic crystals can be made by holographic lithography. Switchable photonic crystals ° can be made by electrically switchable Bragg gratings or holographic polymer dispersed LCs (Fl-PDLC). i
