The gain characteristics of liquid crystal photorefractive cells doped with ferroelectric
nanoparticles has been measured. The liquid crystal two beam coupling gain is found to …

Photorefractive effects manifested in two beam coupling and side diffractions are observed
in fullerene-C_60 doped blue-phase liquid crystals (BPLC− C_60) upon application of a DC …

In this paper we describe application of liquid crystals in optical imaging and processing.
Electrically and optically addressed liquid crystal spatial light modulators are key elements …

A theory of beam coupling in a hybrid photorefractive liquid crystal cell is developed. The
hybrid cell consists of layers of undoped nematic liquid crystal contained within wafers of …

In this paper, we demonstrate a dynamic holographic display in a quantum dot (ZnS/InP)
doped liquid crystal device, where one of the interior cell surfaces is covered by a ZnSe …

Major milestones in the development of molecular nonlinear optics with organic molecules
and polymers are reviewed from foundations to applied perspectives, including …

We develop a semiquantitative theory to describe the experimentally observed energy gain
when two light beams intersect in hybrid organic-inorganic photorefractives. These systems …

The very high birefringence of liquid crystals makes them attractive for photorefractive
applications. However, the drawbacks of using liquid crystals as photorefractives include a …
