All-optical self-induced polarization switching by two-wave mixing in nematic liquid crystalline films and waveguides - From visible to infrared

Research output: Contribution to journal › Conference article › peer-review

Abstract

A theoretical description of the steady state process and experimental confirmation of the effect of using infrared lasers in nematic liquid crystal (NLC) films and waveguides was presented. An incident laser E_x travels through the NLC films and generated a noise source filed E_y by scattering from the director axis n⇌ fluctuation. It was found that E_x and E_y can interfere with each other and form a index grating inside the NLC film. The results show that the stimulated gain is weakly dependent on the wavelength.
