Abstract
Liquid crystal lasers offer wide, continuous tuneability across the visible and near-infrared (450–850 nm). Compared to conventional tuneable laser technology, liquid crystal lasers are highly compact and have simple and scalable manufacturability. Their ability to emit multiple simultaneous emissions of arbitrarily selectable wavelength also gives them functional advantages over competing technologies. This paper describes Förster transfer techniques that have enabled this extended continuously tunable emission range, whilst maintaining a common pump source.
