Opto-optical modulation in N-(p-methoxybenzylidene)-p-butylaniline.

چکیده
A method of opto-optical modulation in liquid crystals is reported. An Ar(+) laser beam is employed to modulate a second He-Ne laser. The highest frequency achieved was 1.5 x 10(3) pulses per second with input modulating powers smaller than 10 mW. A homeotropic N-(p-methoxybenzylidene)-p-butylaniline liquid-crystal cell was employed as the nonlinear medium.

An Investigation of MBBA nematic within Generalized Maier-Saupe Theory
Generalized Maier-Saupe theory (GMST) within Tsallis thermostatistics (TT) has been used to investigate the second rank order parameter in a nematic liquid crystal, N-p-methoxybenzylidene p-n-butylaniline (MBBA). Also, the free energy has been investigated at the nematic-isotropic phase transition temperature and the effect of the nonextensivity has been demonstrated. PACS Number(s): 05.20.-y, ...
متن کاملApparent viscosity of p-methoxybenzylidene-p'-n-butylaniline in the presence of electrohydrodynamic convection.
The apparent shear viscosity of p-methoxybenzylidene-p'-n-butylaniline in the presence of electrohydrodynamic convection (EHC) is investigated experimentally. In the absence of an electric field, directors are almost aligned along the flow direction such that the viscosity is close to the minimum of the Miesowicz viscosities. Since EHC disturbs the flow-aligned director configuration, the visco...
متن کاملNanosecond time scale dynamics of pseudo-nematic domains in the isotropic phase of liquid crystals
The slow reorientational dynamics of isotropic methoxybenzylidene-butylaniline (MBBA) were measured, using a transient grating optical Kerr effect experiment, over a wide temperature range (49.4 °-119.7 ° C). The range of validity of the Landau-de Gennes theory for hydrodynamic relaxation in ordered fluids is determined. The results are compared to previous experiments on pentylcyanobiphenyl (5...
متن کاملPhase-conjugate reflection by degenerate four-wave mixing in a nematic liquid crystal in the isotropic phase.
Liquid-crystal materials are composed of molecules with strong anisotropy. An optical field can induce appreciable molecular alignment along the field, resulting in a change of the index of refraction that is proportional to the optical intensity. Third-order nonlinear optical phenomena, such as self-focusing of light,1'2 stimulated scattering,3 and third-harmonic generation,4-6 have been obser...
متن کاملDielectric Relaxations and Intermolecular Interaction in Several Binary Nematic Mixtures of P-methoxybenzylidene - P'-n-butylaniline and Non-mesogenic Compound
Anisotropic dielectric relaxations in several binary nematic mixtures of MBBA and non-mesogenic compound oriented by magnetic field were measured in the frequency range of 300 Hz to 3 MHz. Viscosity measurements were also made in the isotropic state. Non-mesogenic compounds used were non-linear shaped molecules such as chloroform, m-xylene, and 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, and nearly linear shaped m...
