摘要

Abstract

Self-assembled architectures of soft matter have fascinated scientists for centuries due to their unique physical properties originated from controllable orientational and/or positional orders

and diverse optic and photonic applications. If one could know how to design

fabricate

and manipulate these optical microstructures in soft matter systems

such as liquid crystals (LCs)

that would open new opportunities in both scientific research and practical applications

such as the interaction between light and soft matter

the intrinsic assembly of the topological patterns

and the multidimensional control of the light (polarization

phase

spatial distribution

propagation direction). Here

we summarize recent progresses in self-assembled optical architectures in typical thermotropic LCs and bio-based lyotropic LCs. After briefly introducing the basic definitions and properties of the materials

we present the manipulation schemes of various LC microstructures

especially the topological and topographic configurations. This work further illustrates external-stimuli-enabled dynamic controllability of self-assembled optical structures of these soft materials

and demonstrates several emerging applications. Lastly

we discuss the challenges and opportunities of these materials towards soft matter photonics

and envision future perspectives in this field.
