Abstract
An investigation is made of optical limitation in nematochiral liquid crystal composites with added fullerene C-70 under conditions such tha t diffraction suppresses absorption. It is shown that these systems ha ve the lowest energy threshold for nonlinearity yet recorded. A qualit ative explanation of the results is put forward. (C) 1998 American Ins titute of Physics.
