Glass-forming photoactive cholesteric oligomers doped with quantum dots: novel materials with phototunable circularly polarised emission

Abstract

Abstract Novel glass-forming photoactive cholesteric mixtures doped with CdSe quantum dots were prepared and studied. The photooptical and fluorescent properties of these materials were studied. The possibility of phototuning of circularly polarised emission using ultraviolet irradiation was demonstrated.
