An all-liquid crystal based high-performance laser protection system via linear/nonlinear dual-mechanisms

Chem Commun (Camb). 2018 Jan 4;54(4):397-400. doi: 10.1039/c7cc05250b.

Abstract

Novel mesogenic [60]fullerenes have been synthesized and doped into cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) to achieve a dual-mechanism laser protection system that is effective for both pulsed and broadband cw lasers, simultaneously. It was found that this system integrated a good OPL response, broadband protection range, and high practicability with great potentials in flexible and even wearable protection devices.
