## Abstract Liquid crystals including chiral molecule have a selfβorganized helical structure with nanoβscaled periodicity, which can be regarded as a oneβdimensional (1D) photonic crystal. We have so far investigated lasing characteristics at an edge of the 1D photonic band gap (PBG) of dyeβdoped
## Abstract The unique combination of fluidity and birefringence that is characteristic for liquid crystals is quite suitable in order to tune the optical properties of photonic crystals. Here, some experimental examples are reviewed where colloidal crystals (artificial opals and inverse opals), tw
