    The Influence of the Finite Size of the Light Spot on the Laser Induced Reorientation of Liquid Crystals

    The threshold intensity for the laser induced deformation of nematic liquid crystals is calculated as a function of the spot size of the illuminating beam. It is shown, that due to the small size of the light ...

    Reorientation of Liquid Crystals by Superposed Optical and Quasistatic Electric Fields

    The electric field of a CW laser beam can reorient a nematic liquid crystal. Experiments on the influence of a superposed quasistatic electric field are reported showing that this can reinforce or weaken the l...

    The effect of an optical field on the nematic phase of the liquid crystal OCBP

    We have observed a complex structure and an extraordinarily large divergence (30–40°) of an argon-laser beam emerging from an OCBP crystal placed at a focal constriction. The experimental results can be explai...

    Undamped oscillations of NLC director in the field of an ordinary light wave

    We have investigated experimentally some characteristic features of orientational aberration self-focusing of an ordinary light wave in a homotropically oriented NLC. A qualitative explanation of these feature...

    Gasdynamic CS2 laser with an aim of increasing the efficiency and expanding the spectral range of lasers of this type

    The gasdynamic CS2 laser is investigated theoretically and experimentally. It is theoretically demonstrated that the efficiency of the gasdynamic lasers can be increased by using molecules with lower-lying laser ...

    Analysis of data on the vibrational-relaxation constants in CO2−N2−H2O mixtures, and optimization of a gasdynamic CO2 laser

    The optimum stagnation parameters and compositions of the C02-N2-H20 mixture are optimized on the basis of data on the vibrational-relaxation constants. The influence of the uncertainty in the relaxation constant...
