A liquid crystal necklace structure was fabricated where liquid crystal droplets with a diameter of several tens of micrometers were connected by a micro-tether. The necklace structure was produced by a microfluidics device and was dispersed in a polymer solution. The micro-tether was made of a complex of liquid crystal and polymer. In the presentation, in addition to the details of the liquid crystal necklace structure fabrication by a microfluidics device, we will report the elastic constant of the micro-tether, and the whispering gallery mode observed in each droplet of the necklace structure.
