Abstract

The relationship between the thermal properties and the photorefractive effect of various ferroelectric liquid-crystal compositions was investigated. Mixtures of phenyl pirimidine derivatives were used as host liquid-crystal materials to which chiral dopants and photoconductive compounds were added. The photorefractive two-beam coupling gain coefficient was strongly dependent on the magnitude of spontaneous polarization and the uniformity of the surface-stabilized state.
