Abstract

Optical nonlinearities in ferroelectric liquid crystals are investigated experimentally by launching a laser beam laterally into a surface stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal cell. Our set-up allows measuring both the propagation of the beam inside the cell and the changes induced in the liquid crystal layer. The first is possible due to scattering of light in the liquid crystal layer and the latter by using polarization microscopy. The observed effects are related to thermal optical nonlinearities.
