Abstract：The lasing spectrum of dye-doped chiral nematic liquid crystal under electric filed was investigated. Two kinds of electrodes were designed to apply transverse electric field to positive liquid crystal cell and longitudinal electric field to negative liquid crystal cell. A 532 nm Nd∶YAG pulsed solid-state laser was used to pump the cell. When transverse electric field is applied to positive liquid crystal device, multi-wavelength laser output is obtained in the range of 630~660 nm. When longitudinal electric field is applied to negative liquid crystal cell, 18.5 nm tunable output lasing is obtained. The output characteristic of cell was analyzed from the texture of device and the photonic band gap. In the positive liquid crystal cell, the competition of electric moment with twisting moment causes the flow of LC molecule, and the flow of LC molecule leads to a floating photonic band gap. For this reason, not only at the edge of photonic band gap but in the photonic band gap can produce lasing. For negative liquid crystal cell, the pitch shrinks with the increase of electric field. The photonic band gap shows blue-shift with the decrease of pitch. and Lasing wavelength is blue shifted from 681.0 to 662.5 nm and the lasing at the edge of photonic band gap. Negative liquid crystal cell has better stability under electric field effect.
