This dissertation discusses cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) and polymers based photonic devices including one-dimensional (1D) photonic crystal lasers and broadband circular polarizers. CLCs showing unique self-organized chiral structures have been widely used in bistable displays, flexible displays, and reflectors. However, the photonic band gap they exhibit opens a new way for generating laser light at the photonic band edge (PBE) or inside the band gap. When doped with an emissive laser dye, cholesteric liquid crystals provide distributed feedback so that mirrorless lasing is hence possi

Abstract:
Surface plasmon polaritons are highly confined electromagnetic waves which can be employed in developing miniaturised optical devices for bridging the size-mismatch between the nanoscale electronics and large diffraction-limited photonic devices. For this purpose, it is desired to develop silicon compatible plasmonic devices in order to achieve seamless integration with electronics on the silicon-on-insulator platform. Plasmonic devices such as modulators, detectors, couplers, (de)multiplexers, etc, would possess the advantages of having a small device footprint, low cost, low power consumptio
