Abstract

Nonlinear optical phenomena such as second harmonic generation (SHG) have been studied in various ferroelectric liquid crystals. SHG efficiency depends on the molecular structure of ferroelectric liquid crystal and can be controlled by applied voltage. Phase matching of SHG has been well realized in these ferroelectric liquid crystals. SHG in polymeric ferroelectric liquid crystals, ferroelectric liquid crystal-conducting polymer composites, thin ferroelectric liquid crystal films and liquid crystals which exhibit flexoelectric effect have also been discussed.
