Reduced-Threshold Emission of Capillary Filled by Doped-Dye Cholesteric Liquid Crystals With Photo-Alignment Polyimide Films

A microcavity laser is reported using dye-doped cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) filled in a glass capillary with photo-alignment polyimide films. This laser runs based on the properties that a CLC has a refractive index much higher than that of glass, so whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) laser and di...
