Abstract

Spectral properties of the three-layered wedge-cell system of two identical cholesteric layers with an isotropic defect (dye-doped polymer layer) between them were investigated experimentally and theoretically. It was shown that multiple defect modes can be observed in this kind of system’s photonic band gap which widen the application range of system mentioned above such as low threshold lasing, multi-position trigger, multiwavelength filters, light shutters, etc. The supporting simulation was also provided showing an agreement between experimental results and theoretical calculations. The problem was solved by Ambartsumian’s layer addition modified method.
