Nonlinear Optical Effects in Nematic Liquid-Crystal Films in the 1.55 mm Spectral Region
We have studied the optical nonlinearities of nematic liquid crystals in the near IR communication spectral region [1.55 µm]. The origins of the refractive index changes are thermal indexing effect and director axis reorientations. Very large refractive index and phase modulation of several ?'s...
