It is described the ''self - heterodyning'' technique, based on the detection of the intensity oscillations which, in the far field zone, can be observed, in the initial transient, at the center of a beam which crosses a homeotropically aligned nematic liquid cristal. The simplicity and versatility of the technique is supported by the wide range of its applications.

Abstract
It is described the ''self - heterodyning'' technique, based on the detection of the intensity oscillations which, in the far field zone, can be observed, in the initial transient, at the center of a beam which crosses a homeotropically aligned nematic liquid cristal. The simplicity and versatility of the technique is supported by the wide range of its applications.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
