The latest edition of the leading resource on the properties and
applications of liquid crystals In the newly revised Third Edition
of Liquid Crystals, Professor Iam Choon Khoo delivers a
comprehensive treatment of the fundamentals and applied aspects of
optical physics, light scattering, electro-optics, and non-linear
optics of liquid crystals. The book's opening chapters include
coverage of the foundational physics and optical properties of
liquid crystals and lead to more advanced content on the display,
photonics and nonlinear optics applications of liquid crystals. New
topics, including photonic crystals, metamaterials, ultrafast
nonlinear optics, and fabrication methods for massive cholesteric
and blue phase liquid crystals are discussed at length. Analytical
methods and experimental observations of nonlinear light
propagation through liquid crystalline and anisotropic materials
and devices are also discussed. Liquid Crystals offers an
insightful and unique treatment of the nonlinear optics of liquid
crystals. New and expanded sections round out this new edition and
add to the most up-to-date resource on this topic available today.
The book also includes: A thorough introduction to liquid crystals,
including their molecular structures, chemical compositions, order
parameter, phase transition, and free energies Practical
discussions of nematic, cholesteric, smectic, and ferroelectric
liquid crystals, and explorations of linear and nonlinear light
scattering in these phases. A detailed quantum mechanical treatment
of the linear and nonlinear electronic optical response of liquid
crystal molecules to optical fields. A self-contained discussion of
the fundamentals of nonlinear optics/photonics and comprehensive
review of all liquid crystalline materials-based nonlinear optical
processes and applications. The latest edition of Liquid Crystals
is an indispensable resource for graduate students, professors,
research scientists and engineers in industrial or government
laboratories. It's also an ideal reference for anyone seeking a
one-stop textbook with complete coverage of the optical,
electro-optical, and non-linear optical properties and processes of
liquid crystals.
