A review of liquid crystal nonlinearities and nonlinear optical phenomena observed in all phases of liquid crystals is presented. Recent observation of self-starting optical phase conjugation in nematic liquid crystal is specifically discussed as an example of a novel nonlinear optical phenomenon. |
