High second harmonic generation in ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals by doping with optimally oriented chromophores
J. Ortega, C. L. Folcia, T. Sierra
We report on the second harmonic generation performance of a ferroelectric nematic fluid consisting of the prototype ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal, RM734 mixed with the clas…
Chiral ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals as materials for versatile laser devices
César L. Folcia, Josu Ortega, Teresa Sierra +2
We present a liquid-crystal laser device based on the chiral ferroelectric nematic phase (NF*). The laser medium is obtained by mixing a ferroelectric nematic material with a chira…
Second harmonic generation in anisotropic stratified media: A generalization of the Berreman method and its application to photonic materials
J. Ortega, C. L. Folcia, J. Etxebarria
We have developed a numerical method for calculating the second harmonic generation (SHG) generated by an anisotropic material whose optical properties present an arbitrary modulat…
Ferroelectric chiral nematic liquid crystals: New photonic materials with multiple bandgaps controllable by low electric fields
J. Ortega, C. L. Folcia, J. Etxebarria +1
We have carried out a spectroscopic study on a prototype ferroelectric nematic material (RM7343) doped with a non-polar chiral compound. The mixture presents two chiral nematic pha…
The ferroelectric nematic phase: An optimum liquid crystal candidate for nonlinear optics
C. L. Folcia, J. Ortega, R. Vidal +2
Materials that exhibit high nonlinear optical (NLO) susceptibilities are considered as promising candidates for a wide range of photonic and electronic applications. Here we argue…
Generalization of the Maier-Saupe theory to the ferroelectric nematic phase
J. Etxebarria, C. L. Folcia, J. Ortega
We present a generalization of the Maier-Saupe (MS) theory that incorporates the description of the ferroelectric nematic phase (NF) within its scope of application. The extension…
