Abstract
Recently, we have prepared holographic reflection gratings in polymer stabilized cholesteric liquid crystals (H-PSCLCs) prepared by a 365 nm UV laser using a single prism. The H-PSCLC samples are prepared using various CLC mixtures, formulated from 2wt% photoinitiator, 5~20 wt% liquid crystal monomers, chiral dopants, and positive or negative dielectric anisotropy liquid crystals. Higher order reflection peaks, such as the second and third order reflections, are observed from the H-PSCLC samples without application of the electric field. Spectral position and bandwidth of the higher order diffraction peaks in the H-PSCLCs are tuned in blue, green, and red colors by the application of the direct current (DC) field. Tunablity of the higher order reflection band in H-PSCLCs will be discussed.
