Abstract
Among the materials for optical information processing and optical switching developed in recent years, liquid-crystal photopolymerizing compounds (LCPCs) draw significant attention because they possess the strong optical nonlinearity of liquid crystals and, at the same time, they enable us to create light-induced structures in the photopolymer matrix. The radiation traveling through such system is modulated by its self-action both in the polymerizing matrix and in the LC component of LCPC.
