Abstract
Details of the irreducible-tensors approach are presented and applied to connect macroscopic parameters of uniaxial Liquid Crystals (LC) with their molecular orientational distribution function and microscopic molecular characteristics. Special attention is paid to higher (up to fourth) rank tensors used for description of LC optical nonlinearities.
