Structure Features, Medical Implementation and Nonlinear Optics of Nano-Objects-Doped Liquid Crystal

Abstract

Self-arrangement effect, medical implementation, and nonlinear optics application have been considered in nano-objects-doped liquid crystals as well as in the liquid crystal mesophase with erythrocytes. Self-arrangement effect using micro- and nano-objects doping has been postulated as general for liquid crystal. As an additional, the features of nano-objects-doped liquid crystals have been shown to apply them for protection from high laser irradiation.
