Abstract
Tuning the wavelength of a laser emission by mechanical deformation is not
as implausible as it may seem. This communication proves that it can be don
e with cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers. The Figure shows what happens
when a beam is focussed on the sample in its relaxed (left) and its stretc
hed form (right).
