| Research Abstract |
Cholesteric liquid crystals, which have a helical structure formed by self-assembly, have recently attracted much attention because their helical structure can be regarded as a one-dimensional pseudo-photonic crystal. In this research, the optical confinement of a cholesteric liquid crystal in an optical hollow fiber is investigated. The cholesteric liquid crystal, which has a one-dimensional orientation, is oriented in two-dimension in the hollow fiber. This indicates that the hollow fiber structure enables to create a higher order structure for cholesteric liquid crystals.
