We report on experimental investigations of the lasing effect in novel chiral liquid crystal (CLC) systems with a deformed lying helix (DLH). The lasing is studied for both odd- and even-order field-induced stop-bands, which are characteristic exclusively of the DLH state. The DLH state is achieved in special CLC cells with periodic boundary conditions, when the surface alignment is flipped between planar and vertical states. The alignment surfaces are prepared using focused ion-beam lithography. In an electric field, such CLC system
