Optical tweezers assisted coupling of nematic droplets to gold nanoparticle clusters: effect on whispering gallery modes.

Dye-doped liquid crystal (LC) microdroplets exhibit tunable optical resonances modulated by size, shape, temperature, and external perturbations. When a dye-doped nematic microdroplet is coupled to a gold nanoparticle cluster, near-field interactions…
