Title

Applications Of Liquid Crystal Nonlinearities To Laser Instrumentation

Abstract

Light waves can reorient liquid crystals (LC). The magnitude of this reorientation provides information about the main energetic characteristics of the laser beam. An intrinsic interferometric process provides precise all-optical method of orientation measurement. The temporal dynamics of the LC reorientation under the action of both continuous and pulsed radiation provides another method for determination of the light beam power, intensity and the beams size. The accuracy of measurements depends on the particular method of registration of the LC-orientation.
