Nonlinear optical effects in nematic liquid crystals

Theoretical studies of nonlinear optical effects in nematic liquid crystals including degenerate four-wave mixing are presented. The optically induced Freedericksz transition which is essential for these effects is also described. Experimental investigations are performed using a homeotropically ali...
