Frequency doubling in liquid crystals. Optical thickness of a sample

G. A. Lyakhov, Yu. P. Svirko


Abstract: A theoretical investigation is made of the mechanisms responsible for the experimentally observed nonmonotonic dependence of the intensity of a harmonic generated in a liquid crystal on the thickness of a nonlinear sample. These mechanisms included scattering by fluctuations of the orientation and a change in the order in a liquid crystal in regions far from the walls of a cell.
