Abstract
The nonlinear optical properties of heliconical cholesteric liquid crystals will be presented showing that the peculiar conical structure of these materials offers new opportunities for optoelectronics. Due to the bend distortion of the molecular director light-induced reorientation can be easily obtained with consequent redshift of the Bragg resonance. Using a pump-probe configuration this leads to optical control of light transmission and polarization, while the nonlinear optical propagation of a single beam may lead to self-oscillations and chaotic behavior in the transmitted light, depending on the applied static field, light intensity and wavelength.
