Abstract

Optical properties of selected photonic microstructures based on BP LCs doped with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) are discussed. It has been shown that the examined photonic microstructures can provide promising tunable optical properties, simultaneously enhancing temperature stability of liquid crystalline microstructures. This is due to the presence of Au NPs with an appropriate organic coating in the LC matrix. It has been demonstrated that the investigated BP LC-based photonic microstructures seem to be very promising materials for realizing electro-optical modulation and switching as well tunable filter applications and sensing capabilities providing better transmission properties for perspective emerging tunable photonic devices.
