    "abstract": "We study light transmission through a homeotropically oriented nematic liquid\ncrystal cell and solve self-consistently a nonlinear equation for the nematic\ndirector coupled to Maxwell\u0027s equations. We demonstrate that above a certain\nthreshold of the input light intensity, the liquid-crystal cell changes\nabruptly its optical properties due to the light-induced Freedericksz\ntransition, demonstrating multistable hysteresis-like dependencies in the\ntransmission. We suggest that these properties can be employed for tunable\nall-optical switching photonic devices based on liquid crystals.",
