Abstract
A detailed analysis of classical diffraction on the optically induced phase gratings in thin films of the nematic liquid crystals 5CB, 6CB, and MBBA is presented. It enables a quantitative separation of thermal contributions from reorientational contributions to the gratings to be made by a simple measurement of the gratings' diffraction efficiency with a polarized probe laser.
