Electrically controlled phases of partially polarized light and orientational Kerr effect in liquid crystal ferroelectrics
We study the electro-optic properties of subwavelength-pitch deformed-helix ferroelectric liquid crystals illuminated with partially polarized light. In an experimental setup based on the Mach-Zehnder interferometer, it is found that the interference pattern crucially depends on the degree of polari...
