| Abstract | Porous chiralthin films composed of a nearly hexagonal-close-packed array of helical nanorods of tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum(Alq3) are fabricated using glancing angle deposition and exhibit a one-dimensional polarization-dependent photonic stop band. These chiralthin films transmit only one handedness of circularly polarized light and emit highly circularly polarized photoluminescence. The strong circular Bragg phenomena exhibited by these films suggest potential for use of these films in low-threshold mirrorless lasing and circularly polarized emission applications, while the porosity of the films allows for infiltration by dyes or liquid crystals to enable the formation of unique hybrid materials. |
