Title
Orientational phenomena in liquid crystals on photorefractive substrates
Abstract
The use of photorefractive liquid crystals (LC) and LC on photorefractive substrates for optical information processing applications is examined. The experiment used a homogeneously orientated nematic LC (NLC) sandwiched in a cell with hard anchoring of the director at the boundary layers. It was shown that the threshold value of the surface-localized electric field increases moderately, even if the field decreases inside the NLC exponentially. This makes the electrooptical phenomena in NLC possible under surface-localized influences.
