Abstract
Optical vector wave mixing processes in nematic liquid crystals as a b irefringent nonlinear medium have been investigated. Experimental resu lts are explained theoretically taking into account the polarization d ependence of the wave mixing effect and the tensor properties of the n onlinearity.
