**Tuning of a dyeβdoped cholesteric liquid crystal mirrorless laser** in the violetβ ultraviolet wavelength range is achieved using two different strategies for controlling the periodicity of the cholesteric helical structures. Both methods are shown produce a shift of the lasing wavelength by 30β40
## Abstract In this paper, we present the results of our investigations on the lasing in dye doped chiral liquid crystals with structural defects. The introduction of structural defects (TiO~2~ microbeads) into cholesterics results in multimode laser generation and increasing the threshold energy.
