Abstract

The director configuration in a thin layer of ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) under an applied static field is investigated by exciting optic modes in a FLC cell. The reflectivity data obtained may only be fitted to theory by maintaining in the voltage-distorted optical tensor profile a point in the middle of the cell having the same structure as at 0 V. This unambiguously confirms the chevron structure observed in x-ray diffraction and shows that the layering remains largely undistorted to fields of order 3×106 V m−1.
