摘要：

The photoinduced isotropic state of liquid crystalline azobenzenes exhibits one of the strongest nonlinear optical refraction known for isotropic materials. The optical nonlinearity of these materials is large in a wide band of the visible spectrum and is accompanied with high, over 90%, transmission for red wavelengths.
