Light-induced Fredericks transition in a liquid crystal
The Fredericks transition in a homeotropically oriented layer of a nematic liquid crystal (NLC) due to the action of continuous laser radiation has been investigated. The measured value of the threshold power is in good agreement with the given theoretical estimate. The dynamics of the observed effect and the role of thermal effects have been investigated.
