摘要:
Optical nonlinearity of liquid crystals (LC) in the isotropic phase can be enhanced by one order of magnitude by dissolving 0.1% of anthraquinone dye in the LC. The enhancement decreases when the LC transforms into the nematic phase. The same guest-host effect also exists in non-LC liquids. It can be explained by a model based on selective excitation of dye molecules and the change of guest-host interaction induced by optical excitations of the dye.
