光子晶體為不同折射率介質週期性排列而成的結構，利用其光子能隙的特性可製作光子晶體雷射，但是受限於製作的難度，三維光子晶體的發展遠遠落後於二維和一維光子晶體。然而，藍相為週期性排列的雙重扭轉圓柱組成的晶格結構，可將其視為自組裝的三維光子晶體，藉由探討各種製程條件來達到自組裝的藍相光子晶體雷射元件為本論文之研究目標。
本論文將雷射染料摻雜於藍相液晶中，研究向列型液晶和旋性物質(chiral)的比例對藍相液晶溫度範圍和其布拉格反射波長所造成的變化，藉由Kossel diagram的繞射圖形探討降溫速度與表面處理對藍相晶格結構的影響。從實驗結果發現，若我們選擇適當的材料比例可得到存在於室溫的藍相三維光子晶體，且其布拉格反射波長位於雷射染料之放射頻譜中。此外，經由改變降溫速度的快慢和表面處理的方式會使得雷射輸出變得穩定。利用上述結果，我們製作出室溫下之三維藍相液晶雷射元件，成功量測到三個維度之雷射輸出。分析此元件雷射輸出方向與水平配向的關係，並研究了溫度的改變對此雷射輸出波長的影響。基於此研究成果，未來對可調控的三維光子晶體雷射的發展極有幫助。

Photonic crystal is the periodic structure with different refractive index media. Its photonic-bandgap characteristics could be used to make the photonic crystal lasers. Because of the difficulty of fabrication, the development of three-dimensional photonic crystal is far behind the two-dimensional and one-dimensional photonic crystals. Blue phase liquid crystals are formed by periodic lattice structure with double-twisted cylinder, therefore it is a three-dimensional self-assembled photonic crystal. The objective in this study is to fabricate the three-dimensional photonic crystal blue phase liquid crystal laser by investigating the materials and the fabricating conditions.
In this thesis, we doped the laser dye in the blue phase liquid crystal to make the laser device. Firstly, we studied blue phase temperature range and Bragg reflection wavelength under different material ratio. The blue phase lattice structures under different cool rate and surface treatment could be investigated by observing Kossel diagram . According to the experiment results, three-dimensional blue phase photonic crystal laser under room temperature could be achieved through appropriate material ratio, and its Bragg reflection wavelength is corresponds to the emission spectrum of the doped laser dye. By decreasing the cooling rate and the adapting homogeneous alignment of the substrates, the laser output will become more stable. As the result, we successfully fabricated the three-dimensional liquid crystal blue phase laser device at room temperature, and measured three-dimensional laser output. In addition, We study the relations between the laser emission direction and the alignment direction, and the temperature tuning characteristics of the laser wavelength. These results are very useful for the development of the three dimension tunable laser.
