The quantum dots serve as emitters feeding the optical modes of the photonic cavity. By changing temperature, the liquid crystal undergoes a phase transition from the isotropic to the nematic state, which can be used\r\nas an effective tuning mechanism of the photonic modes of the cavity. In the nematic state, the uniaxial electrical anisotropy of the liquid crystal molecules can be exploited for orienting the material in an electric field,\r\nthus externally controlling the birefringence of the material. Using this effect, an electric field induced tuning of the modes is achieved. Numerical simulations using the finite-differences time-domain (FDTD) technique\r\nemploying an anisotropic dielectric medium allow to understand the alignment of the liquid crystal molecules on the surface of the microdisk resonator."}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["1094-4087"]},"date_updated":"2023-03-26T22:45:37Z","ddc":["530"],"_id":"4172","doi":"10.1364/oe.18.007946","publication":"Optics Express","title":"Tuning quantum-dot based photonic devices with liquid crystals","department":[{"_id":"15"},{"_id":"287"},{"_id":"293"},{"_id":"292"},{"_id":"35"},{"_id":"230"},{"_id":"313"},{"_id":"170"}],"author":[{"last_name":"Piegdon","full_name":"Piegdon, Karoline A.","first_name":"Karoline A."},{"full_name":"Declair, Stefan","last_name":"Declair","first_name":"Stefan"},{"first_name":"Jens","last_name":"Förstner","orcid":"0000-0001-7059-9862","full_name":"Förstner, Jens","id":"158"},{"id":"344","first_name":"Torsten","full_name":"Meier, Torsten","orcid":"0000-0001-8864-2072","last_name":"Meier"},{"last_name":"Matthias","full_name":"Matthias, Heiner","first_name":"Heiner"},{"first_name":"Martin","last_name":"Urbanski","full_name":"Urbanski, Martin"},{"id":"254","first_name":"Heinz-Siegfried","full_name":"Kitzerow, Heinz-Siegfried","last_name":"Kitzerow"},{"last_name":"Reuter","full_name":"Reuter, Dirk","first_name":"Dirk","id":"37763"},{"first_name":"Andreas D.","full_name":"Wieck, Andreas D.","last_name":"Wieck"},{"full_name":"Lorke, Axel","last_name":"Lorke","first_name":"Axel"},{"id":"20798","first_name":"Cedrik","full_name":"Meier, Cedrik","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3787-3572","last_name":"Meier"}],"year":"2010","has_accepted_license":"1","urn":"41725","oa":"1","issue":"8","date_created":"2018-08-28T08:50:06Z","file":[{"access_level":"open_access","file_size":627755,"relation":"main_file","date_updated":"2018-09-04T20:02:01Z","file_name":"2010 Piegdon,Declair,Förstner,Meier T,Matthias,Urbanski,Kitzerow,Reuter,Wieck,Lorcke,Meier C_Tuning quantum-dot based photonic devices with liquid crystals.pdf","file_id":"4173","content_type":"application/pdf","creator":"hclaudia","date_created":"2018-08-28T08:52:50Z"}],"publisher":"The Optical Society","article_number":"7946","file_date_updated":"2018-09-04T20:02:01Z","citation":{"mla":"Piegdon, Karoline A., et al. “Tuning Quantum-Dot Based Photonic Devices with Liquid Crystals.” Optics Express, vol. 18, no. 8, 7946, The Optical Society, 2010, doi:10.1364/oe.18.007946.","apa":"Piegdon, K.
