Optics and Laser Spectroscopy of Liquid Crystals

The following liquid crystal systems are investigated by static and dynamic light scattering, second harmonic generation and microscopy:

1. Liquid crystals embedded in various hosts as aerogel, Nuclepore and Anopore filters ...
2. Polymer dispersed liquid crystals
3. Volume stabilised ferroelectric liquid crystals
4. DNA liquid crystalline phases
5. Ferroelectric SmC* phase confined to cylindrical capillaries
6. Ferroelectric and antiferroelectric liquid crystals
7. Interactions of liquid crystals with surfaces
8. Free standing liquid crystal films
