We provide an in-depth treatment of the various mechanisms by which an incident light
beam can produce an intensity-or flux-dependent change in the refractive index and …

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 …

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 …

We present a theoretical model and experimental demonstration of an all-optical switching
process occurring in twist alignment dye-doped nematic liquid crystal cells. A Landau …

Liquid crystal devices to perform optical switching, filtering and to build optical
crossconnects for wavelength division multiplexed optical communication systems are …

We present a comprehensive review of nonlinear optics and photonics of two ordered
phases of liquid crystals, namely, Cholesteric and Blue-phase liquid crystals that exhibit 1 …

We report multiple holographic recording and optical address recognition schemes in Methyl
Red-doped liquid-crystal film without an applied electric field. Ten gratings are recorded at a …

In this paper, we describe the principle of the three-dimensional vector holograms formed in
anisotropic recording medium. The polarization states of the interference light are three …

We have demonstrated efficient all-optical polarization conversion of cw 1.55 m laser in
nematic liquid crystal films. The process is mediated by coherent two-beam coupling effect …

An orientational grating with reduced scattering noise is formed in fullerene-doped and
undoped homeotropic nematic liquid crystal cells by simultaneous application of both …
