A. Kovalev et al., WAVE-FRONT CONJUGATION IN DYE-ACTIVATED NEMATICS IN THE FIELD OF PULSED RUBY-LASER, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals science and technology. Section A, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals, 265, 1995, pp. 271-281
Wavefront conjugation (WFC) of free-running ruby laser by using therma
l nonlinearity in dye-activated nematics is demonstrated. Obtained val
ues of the conjugation coefficient R near phase transition to isotropi
c state are close to 100 %. Temperature dependence of R has been studi
ed theoretically and experimentally.
