Abstract
The bulk second harmonic generation (SHG) in the cholesteric liquid cr ystal has been studied. The electric field E induces SHG in cholesteri c liquid crystal with small dielectric anisotropy and SHG intensity is proportional to E(2). This electric field dependence is tentatively i nterpreted in terms of the increase in polarization density due to fle xoelectric deformation.
