Planar photonic crystals infiltrated with liquid crystals: optical characterization of molecule orientation.

Opt Lett

Laboratoire d'Optoélectronique des Matériaux Moléculaires, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale, Switzerland.

Published: May 2006

Nematic liquid crystals are infiltrated into InP-based planar photonic crystals. Optical measurements as a function of temperature and polarization are used to study the average director field configuration in the nanometer-size holes: a planar equilibrium state is found.
