Abstract

The second harmonic generation (SHG) by the femtosecond pulses in a nematic liquid crystal has been experimentally studied. It was found that the SHG by a light beam occurs in the bulk of the liquid crystal sample, is accompanied by a luminescence, and is only observed in the presence of the light-induced director reorientation.
