We analyzed the self-transparency effect of a laser beam travelling in a sample of an unsaturated polyester Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC). This effect is of thermal nature and occurs when a change of the refractive index of the considered composite material is induced by variations of the local temperature due to the incident light power.

Abstract

We analyzed the self-transparency effect of a laser beam travelling in a sample of an unsaturated polyester Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC). This effect is of thermal nature and occurs when a change of the refractive index of the considered composite material is induced by variations of the local temperature due to the incident light power.
