Abstract
Hybrid optical bistability and limiting in ferroelectric liquid crystals with linear feedback has been studied. Optical limiting and bistability are observed for the cases of negative and positive feedback parameters, respectively. It is also found that the hysteresis in the transmission-voltage curve of ferroelectric liquid crystal contributes to the expansion of the bistable region.Keywords
