Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201500340-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Electrical tuning of selective reflection of light</bold> is achieved in a very broad spectral range from ultraviolet to visible and infrared by an oblique helicoidal state of a cholesteric liquid crystal in a wide temperature range (including room temperature). The phenomenon offers potential applications in tunable smart windows, lasers, optical filters and limiters, as well as in displays. <graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgjn23wsm7" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></p> </abstract>
