Phase-matched second-harmonic generation in ferroelectric liquid crystals

Abstract

It has recently been demonstrated that ferroelectric liquid crystals (FLCs) which exhibit relatively large second-order optical nonlinearities can be synthesized.1 Much of the attraction of FLCs as harmonic generators lies in the potential for engineering their phase-matching properties for specific uses. We report here on what we believe to be the first study of phase-matched SHG along the entire phase-matching locus in both commercial and enhanced FLC mixtures. Such measurements give important information about device potential and provide a powerful check on the reported signs and magnitudes of individual nonlinear coefficients measured by other techniques.2
