摘要：
High birefringence and low viscosity isothiocyanate liquid crystal single compounds, and eutectic mixtures based solely on unsaturated rigid core structures, are reported. Extraordinarily high values of figure-of-merit were observed at room temperature for the formulated nematic mixtures. Potential applications of such mixtures for laser beam steering at lambda = 1.55 mu m using optical phased arrays are emphasized.
