摘要
We present a theoretical study of the Light-Induced Freedricksz transition in two geometries where dynamical phenomena induced by the laser light have been observed. We consider a spatially extended system, i.e. we assume the laser beam to be much wider than the thickness of the cell. We suggest that pattern formation phenomena in the plane of the cell entirely due to the light-director interaction should be possible to observe.
