Light Induced Effects In Cholesteric Mixtures With A Photosensitive Nematic Host

For the first time the photooptic effect in induced cholesteric mixtures using photosensitive nematic host has been observed. The changes of the pitch (color) and optical anisotropy (Δn) and also cholesteric-isotropic phase transition have been studied. Potential applications of these systems are co...

Summary:For the first time the photooptic effect in induced cholesteric mixtures using photosensitive nematic host has been observed. The changes of the pitch (color) and optical anisotropy (Δn) and also cholesteric-isotropic phase transition have been studied. Potential applications of these systems are color filters, UV image recording, UV sensors, and optical data processing systems.
