Abstract

An investigation is made of optical limitation in nematochiral liquid crystal composites with added fullerene C70 under conditions such that diffraction suppresses absorption. It is shown that these systems have the lowest energy threshold for nonlinearity yet recorded. A qualitative explanation of the results is put forward.
