摘要：
A first-order optical Freedericksz transition in a nematic liquid crystal doped by a small quantity of a dichroic dye with negative dichroism is observed. The initial homeotropic state corresponds to maximum absorption for the linearly polarized incident beam, while reorientation reduces absorption increasing the optical torque: this process produces the positive feedback leading to the observed bistable behavior.
