Stokes parameter studies of spontaneous emission from chiral nematic liquid crystals as a one-dimensional photonic stopband crystal: Experiment and theory
The helical structure of uniformly aligned chiral nematic liquid crystals results in a photonic stopband for only one sense of circular polarization. The spectroscopic Stokes polarimeter is used to analyze spontaneous emission in the stopband. Highly polarized photoluminescence is found and the pola...
