Abstract

The results of the research in the field of the electro-optics of nematic and smectic (ferroelectric) liquid crystals, performed at the Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (FIAN), as well as their applications in modulation of the amplitude, phase, or scattering of laser radiation in electrically and optically controlled transparencies (spatial light modulators); holographic memory devices; wave-field formers and image converters (including three-dimensional ones); and recognition, sensor, and other laser technique devices, are presented.
