Nonlinear wave guiding in nematic liquid crystals
Waveguiding in liquid crystals can be achieved by controlling the molecular orientation by means of external fields or by shaping the geometry of the substrates that contain the liquid crystal material. The creation of these waveguides in liquid crystals can also be achieved by using the optical nonlinear properties of the material. For a sufficient optical power (in the order of a few mW), the...
متن کاملNonlinear Schrodinger Equation in Nematic Liquid Crystals
We derive the amplitude equation, in the weakly nonlinear regime, for an optical wave packet that propagates in an initially undistorted nematic liquid crystal. By using the dyad representation Q i j , we find the retarded and nonlocal equation for the nematic configuration and solve it in Fourier space. This allows us to calculate the amplitude dependent dispersion relation for a nematic liqui...
متن کاملLinear electroclinic coupling in ferroelectric liquid crystals
We report a study of the electrodmic coupling (soft mode), close to the smectic A to smectic C* phase transition in several chiral compounds The main charactenstic of the technique used is to measure both optical and dielectric quantities on a single sample This
متن کاملOrientation of single crystals using linear approximations to NMR transits.
We have derived analytical expressions for determining the orientation of high-symmetry single crystals from line-crossings in a single rotation plot. We demonstrate the utility of the method using the strontium-87 resonance in strontium nitrate. Employing our new method, which we call orientation of single crystals using linear approximations to NMR transits (OSCULANT), in combination with fou...
متن کاملPassive Sensor Materials based on Liquid Crystals
Research supported by this grant entitled “Passive Sensor Materials Based on Liquid Crystals” revolved around an investigation of liquid crystalline materials for use in passive sensors for chemical agents, including sulfur and phosphorus-containing compounds. The research was founded on the discovery in the Abbott research group at University of Wisconsin that competitive molecular interaction...
