摘要：

A new simple model is presented to describe the dynamics of the optical reorientation induced by a laser beam into a homeotropically aligned nematic liquid crystal. Unlike previous models on the subject, we accounted for transfer of angular momentum from light to the sample. A rich and somewhat unexpected dynamics is found also in the case of linear polarization of the incident light.
