The band structure of photons in cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) is investigated in the shortwave approximation. The bound states or narrow resonances of photons in the CLC are formed by the extraordinary waves. The explicit expressions for the spectrum bands and the dispersion laws of photons in these bands are obtained. It is shown that these states describe photons propagating almost perpendicular to the CLC axis. The density of photon states acquires a sharp peak due to the presence of bound states. Near this peak, in the particular case of plasma permittivity, the photons posses a linear or quadratic dispersion relations in the directions perpendicular to the CLC axis depending on the sign of the anisotropy of the CLC permittivity tensor. The resonances in the CLC plate are also described.
In the present paper, we investigate the polarization properties of the cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) with an isotropic/anisotropic defect inside them. Possibilities of amplification of the polarization plane rotation and stabilization of the li
Nonlinear optical propagation in cholesteric liquid crystals (CLC) with a spatially periodic helical molecular structure is studied experimentally and modeled numerically. This periodic structure can be seen as a Bragg grating with a propagation stop
Within the Oseen-Frank theory we derive numerically exact solutions for axisymmetric localized states in chiral liquid crystal layers with homeotropic anchoring. These solutions describe recently observed two-dimensional skyrmions in confinement-frus
In this letter we exploit the extended coherence length of mixed plasmon/exciton states to generate active metasurfaces. For this purpose, periodic stripes of organic dye are deposited on a continuous silver film. Typical metasurface effects, such as
We analyze the existence and stability of two-component vector solitons in nematic liquid crystals for which one of the components carries angular momentum and describes a vortex beam. We demonstrate that the nonlocal, nonlinear response can dramatic
