Abstract
AbstractThe circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) of chiral disubstituted liquid‐crystalline polyacetylene (di‐LCPA) can be dynamically switched and amplified from left‐ to right‐handed CPL and vice versa through the selective transmission of CPL across a thermotropic chiral nematic liquid crystal (N*‐LC) phase. By combining a chiral di‐LCPA CPL‐emitting film with an N*‐LC cell and tuning the selective reflection band of the N*‐LC phase to coincide with the CPL emission band, a CPL‐switchable cell was constructed. The phase change induced by the thermotropic N*‐LC cell by varying the temperature leads to a change in the selective transmission of CPL, which enables the dynamic switching and amplification of CPL. It is anticipated that CPL‐switchable devices might find applications in switchable low‐threshold lasers and optical memory devices.
