Photothermal response on 8CB liquid crystal sample. (a) Photothermal response of the 50 μm thick 8CB liquid crystal as a function of temperature for all the measured phases. (b) Photothermal response in the solid phase, T = 13 °C, 15 °C, 17 °C, 19 °C, and 21 °C. (c) Photothermal response in the smectic-A phase, T = 23 °C, 25 °C, 27 °C, 29 °C, 31 °C, 33 °C. (d) Photothermal response in the nematic phase, T = 35 °C, 37 °C, and 39 °C. (e) Photothermal response in the isotropic phase, T = 43 °C to 55 °C.
