Photorefractivity and Optical Wave Mixing Effects in Nematic Liquid Crystals Doped with Fullerene Derivatives and Dyes
The photorefractive effect has been observed and documented for decades1,2. This effect is typically observed in impurity doped electrooptic crystals. When the crystal is illuminated, charge carriers are excited ...
