Abstract

The overall performance of liquid crystal devices is determined by a large number of interlinked features. We demonstrate that an easy-to-implement methodology and optical technique can provide a comprehensive characterisation and mapping of liquid crystal systems, capturing their static as well as dynamic properties. It has also been successfully applied to thin liquid crystal cells, planar and twisted cells. The technique is not only a powerful tool for optimising the choice of materials for each specific application, but also offers a great insight in the polarisation dynamics of light propagating in the anisotropic and multi-layer liquid crystal systems.
