Abstract
Some organic functional groups have been shown to have very large optical nonlinear coefficients. By incorporating such molecules into ferroelectric liquid crystal molecules, the difficult macroscopic alignment of such molecules becomes feasible and the resulting crystals yield large bulk optical nonlinearities which include SHG. The aim of this work is to investigate different FLC materials using SHG with results being reported at the meeting.
