| Abstract: | The phase-matched generation of the optical second harmonic was investigated in the chiral smectic C* phase of a classical ferroelectric liquid crystal (DOBAMBC). The phase-matching was achieved either by incidence angle or by temperature tuning. The temperature behaviour of the second order nonlinear susceptibility was studied. |
