Laser Induced Refractive Index Change in Nematic Liquid Crystals

Laser Induced Refractive Index Change in Nematic Liquid Crystals

We report the observation of laser induced refractive index change for a homeotropically aligned nematic liquid crystal (BDH-E7) film of 10 mm thickness. Diffraction rings were observed when an intense Ar+ ion laser hits a homeotropically aligned nematic liquid crystal at normal incidence above a th...
