Paper Abstract
This study investigates an optically switchable band gap of photonic crystal that is based on an azobenzene-doped liquid
crystal blue phase. The trans-cis photoisomerization of azobenzene deforms the cubic unit cell of the blue phase and
shifts the photonic band gap. The fast back-isomerization of azobenzene was induced by irradiation with different
wavelengths light. The crystal structure is verified using Kossel diffraction diagram. An optically addressable blue phase
display, based on Bragg reflection from the photonic band gap, is also demonstrated. The tunable ranges are around red,
green and blue wavelengths and exhibit a bright saturated color.
