摘要:
We describe here a novel technique which makes use of the photothermal mirage effect to study phase transition in liquid crystals. Results of the measurements done with two nematic liquid crystals are given to illustrate this technique. We observe an enhancement in the signal amplitude during phase change which is due to the large magnitude of the refractive index gradient developing at the transition temperature.
