Abstract
Diffraction efficiency and time dependence of optically induced diffraction grating in the nematic phase of a commercial mixture ZLI 1738 was measured with a separate probe beam. From the data, using the known values of the indices of refraction, bend and splay orientational elastic constants and effective viscosities were calculated.
