In the paper the efficiency of the light energy conversion from the fundamental wave into its second harmonics is analysed. A standard model of three waves mixing in media without centre of symmetry was applied. It was shown that the full conversion of energy is possible if an appropriate phase difference exists and provided that at least a minimal energy of the second wave is present on the input. The results are expressed both by analytical formulas and a phase space reconstruction. A simple experimental setup to enhance the second harmonics is proposed.

In this work we present results of calculations concerning bistability of optical polarisation in birefringent media. Second-order optical nonlinearity is assumed to be dominant and represented by one parameter. In our model the second-harmonic generation regime is assumed. Light transmission is analysed in terms of standard Fabry-Perot model of feedback. We derived formulas for the Stokes parameters describing the polarisation state. Numerical results showed that three parameters may exhibit bistable behaviour. This creates new possibilities for optical switching.

We present a model calculation of optical bistability and polarisation evolution in optically birefringent media based on the interaction of three waves. Second-order optical nonlinearity (described by the third rank susceptibility tensor) is assumed to be dominant. A bistable light transmission is analysed in terms of standard Fabry-Perot model of feedback, and is a direct consequence of the results obtained for a semi-infinite medium. A second effect considered in the paper is evolution of polarisation state of the waves involved in these processes. We derived a closed formula for intensity-dependent refractive index, which corresponds to that used in the case of third-order nonlinear media. As a result, we calculated both intensity and Stokes parameters of transmitted light.

Results of measurements of the intensity of light scattered by a smectic liquid crystal are reported for three phases of the specimen. A strong dependence of the scattered intensity on the relative directions of polarization vector and molecular orientation is observed. A mechanism of light interaction with material is proposed, it is attributed to brillouin - like scattering of light on director - system excitations.
