High optical nonlinearity of nematic liquid crystals doped with gold nanoparticles
Tetraoctylammonium bromide (TOAB)-coated gold nano-particles dispersed in nematic liquid crystals lead to an enhancement of the nonlinear index coefficient, (n2). A small amount of particles is sufficient to increase n2 and two-beam coupling gain by more than an order of magnitude while maintaining...
