  The influence of the defect position on absorption and emission in the
cholesteric liquid crystal with an isotropic defect inside is studied. It is
shown that for non-diffracting circularly polarized incident light
absorption/emission is maximum if the defect is in the centre of the system;
and for diffracting circularly polarized incident light absorption/emission is
maximum if the defect is shifted from the centre of the system to its left
border from where light is incident. The influence of anisotropic absorption in
the cholesteric liquid crystal layer on photonic states of density was
investigated, too.
