Abstract
Optooptical or nonlinear optical effects related to reorientation phenomena in liquid crystals are of some interest referring to uses like phase conjugation, optooptical switching and processing of light or optical bistability because these nonlinearities are strong, nonresonant, and approximately independent of wavelength over the visible and near IR spectral region.1 Optical field-induced reorientation in the nematic phase of liquid crystals has been investigated with low power cw lasers2 and with short laser pulses.3
