Abstract
Using de Vries's model, we predicted theoretically that phase matching of optical third-harmonic generation can be achieved in cholesteric liquid crystals. The prediction was verified by measurements of third-harmonic generation from a mixture of cholesteryl chloride and cholesteryl myristate.Keywords
