Abstract
The torque changing the orientation of transparent LC due to the action of the light field leads to the giant orientational nonlinearity (GON) (see Refs. 1 and 2), Recent experiments3,4 demonstrated orientational nonlinearity in dye-doped absorbing LCs, about 100 times larger than GON. What is the source of the torque?
