Four-wave mixing and optical-field-induced helical structure in liquid crystalline materials
Four-wave mixing with two circularly polarized counter-propagating waves inducing a helical birefringence structure can be used to measure a number of material parameters of a liquid crystalline medium. Applic...

Experimental study of self-focusing in a liquid crystalline medium
We have studied experimentally self-focusing of light in the liquid crystalline mediump-ethoxybenzyldine-p-butylaniline (EBBA). By variation of temperature, the response time of the field-induced refractive index...
