title = "The infrared optical nonlinearities of nematic liquid crystals and novel two-wave mixing processes",
abstract = "Some of the extraordinary physical and optical characteristics of nematic liquid crystals are uniquely suited for nonlinear optical studies and applications, especially in the infrared spectral regime. The results are presented of new theoretical and experimental studies of the infrared optical nonlinearities of nematic liquid crystals and novel two- and multi-wave mixing effects. These effects will find applications in nonlinear wave mixing devices.",

note = "Funding Information: Acknowledgments The temperature dependence of the refractive indices of nematic liquid crystals at 10 . 6 gm CO 2 laser wavelength were obtained through the tireless efforts of my graduate students Robert J . Mansfield and P . Zhou . The author would like to thank Dr N . V . Tabiryan of the Armenian Academy of Sciences for helpful discussions of wave mixing in bipolar-birefringence media . The collaboration with Drs R . Normandin and E . Vilks of the National Research Council of Canada in the CO projects is also gratefully acknowledged . This work was supported by grants from the U .S . National Science Foundation, Air Force Weapons Laboratory and the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency .",
