Abstract

In this paper, we will describe the basic mechanisms and dynamics of photorefractivity, and holographic grating formations in dye- and fullerene C₆₀-doped nematic liquid crystal films. The effects are attributed to photo induced molecular axis reorientation in these nematic films. A nonlinear index coefficient n₂ of 10^-2 cm²/Watt can be obtained in a 25μm thick film, with an applied dc-voltage of -1 volt. In Fullerene C₆₀-doped films, these laser induced gratings can be made permanent and electronically modulated; they can be turned off and on by an ac voltage with response times of ∼ 100 μs and a few ms, respectively.
