Liquid-crystal microdroplets as optical microresonators and lasers

Author(s): Igor Muševič (Author), Matjaž Humar (Author)

Year: 2012

Type: Doctoral dissertation

This thesis investigates the use of single liquid-crystal droplets as optical microresonators and lasers. We have shown that liquid-crystal droplets can support a number of different optical modes that can be excited by introducing a fluorescent dye in the liquid crystal material and using an external excitation source of light. …
