Abstract
By means of the optical phase retardation method the YAG laser was used to observe the transient heating behavior in planar nematic liquid crystals. A ccording to the experimental results, heating effect may induce molecular r eorientation in liquid crystals. Ate-dye and photoisomerized-dye in pla nar nematic liquid crystals have little effect on heating behavior, but the li quid crystal doped with chiral molecules shows temporary memory effect.
