We study a defect mode in a one-dimensional photonic band gap of a cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) consisting of two helicoidal periodicities. The optical properties of this CLC are analyzed using 4×4 transfer matrix and finite difference time domain (FDTD) methods. In calculated transmission spectra of this CLC, one of the defect modes always appears at the band edge wavelength of the inner CLC having a different helix to that of two sides of CLCs. Furthermore, the electric field analysis of this CLC has also been demonstrated by the FDTD method. At the defect mode wavelength, the electric field enhancement is found to be significant larger than a normal CLC.
