Photonic defect modes in cholesteric liquid crystal with a resonant nanocomposite layer and a twist defect

Stepan Ya. Vetrov, Maxim V. Pyatnov, Ivan V. Timofeev

We have studied spectral properties of a cholesteric liquid crystal with a combined defect consisting of a nanocomposite layer and a twist. The nanocomposite layer is made of metal…
