Abstract

We introduce quasi-periodic Fibonaccian phase defects into single-pitched cholesteric liquid crystalline systems. Numerical simulations of reflection spectra from the proposed systems demonstrate simultaneous red, green, and blue reflections or multiple photonic band gaps. Fundamental optical properties are discussed as functions of phase jump (orientational defect angles), unit lengths and the orders of Fibonacci systems.

(Color online) Schematic view of Fibonaccian defects in periodic cholesteric structures: F 2={AB} and F 3={BAB} with ϕ=0 and ϕ=π/2. A (blue) and B (red) are two units of the quasi-periodic Fibonacci system, i.e., F 0={A} and F 1={B}. ϕ is an orientational defect angle between the molecular director in A layer and that in B layer at the interface (yellow).

(Color online) Reflection spectra for the Fibonacci system F 4={ABBAB} with orientational defect angles (a) ϕ=0, (b) ϕ=π/3, (c) ϕ=π/2, and (d) ϕ=π/6. For all simulations, we have considered a RCP incident light and the R-CLC with refractive indices ne =1.78 and no =1.56, an optical pitch λP =532nm, and an unit length of A or B layer UL =1P.
