We demonstrate three electro-optic telecommunication devices operating at a wavelength λ = 1550 nm: an optical switch or modulator, a variable attenuator, and a rotatable waveplate. These devices make use of the electroclinic and ferroelectric prope

Dynamic properties of ferroelectric liquid crystals have been studied by means of observation of electric, optical and mechanical responses to the step-like change of electric field strength. A resonance low-frequency mode interpreted as a texture on

In this paper we investigate Photonic Band Edge (PBE) lasing from a homologous series of non-symmetric bimesogen liquid crystals (the mesogenic units are not identical) with varying physical parameters. A homologous series was synthesised, where the

Nonresonant random lasing from a dye-doped smectic A* scattering device is demonstrated. The field-induced scattering state of a low molar mass liquid crystal in the smectic A* phase is found to provide sufficient feedback to generate random lasing w

In this paper, we review our recent experimental work on coherent and incoherent liquid crystal lasers. For the coherent lasers, results are presented on thin-film photonic band edge lasing using dye-doped low molar mass liquid crystals in the self-o

We demonstrate an electro-optic switch and a variable attenuator for telecommunication applications at λ=1550nm by employing the ferroelectric and electroclinic properties of an organosiloxane liquid crystal. In the ferroelectric SmC* phase an optic

Liquid crystal 'blue phases' are highly fluid self-assembled three-dimensional cubic defect structures that exist over narrow temperature ranges in highly chiral liquid crystals. The characteristic period of these defects is of the order of the wavel

In this paper, we measure the emission energies of three different photonic band edge lasers containing nematic hosts which have slightly different physical properties. The low molar mass monomers used as nematic hosts are identical in terms of molec

The birefringence of some different monomesogen and bimesogen liquid crystals has been determined. Birefringence is an important liquid crystal property in the context of display and optical communication applications. Members of the well known homol

The lasing output characteristics of two different types of photonic band edge liquid crystal lasers have been investigated. The required helical structure or periodic change in the refractive index was realised by using either a chiral nematic or a
