Liquid crystals occupy an important niche in nonlinear optics as a result of their unique
physical and optical properties. Besides their broadband birefringence and transparency …

This is a monograph/text devoted to a detailed treatment of the optical, electro-optical and
nonlinear optical properties of all the mesophases of liquid crystals and related processes …

The latest edition of the leading resource on the properties and applications of liquid crystals
In the newly revised Third Edition of Liquid Crystals, Professor Iam Choon Khoo delivers a …

Nematic liquid crystals possess large and versatile optical nonlinearities suitable for
photonics applications spanning the femtoseconds to milliseconds time scales, and across a …

Liquid crystals as nonlinear optical materials are reviewed. Potential applications of these
materials in wave mixing, phase conjugation, and optical bistability are discussed. The …

As a result of development of optics during many centuries the concept was formed that a
medium can strongly influence on the light propagation, but the light itself cannot have …

Nematic liquid crystals exhibit a saturable nonlinearity, nonlocal in time and in space, owing
to light-induced reorientation of the molecular director. In such media,(2+ 1)-dimensional …

Optically induced nematic liquid crystal axis reorientation results in extraordinarily large
nonlinear refractive index changes that could find practical applications in conjunction with …
