We introduce a novel imaging technique adopting remote focusing for resolving the axial dynamics in the director field for liquid crystals. The high axial time resolution of our approach is demonstrated by imaging directly the evolution of the direct

An achiral fixed bent-core nematic liquid crystal in an antiparallel aligned planar device is observed to form three distinct domains. Regions are observed which are achiral planar, as well as domains displaying both positive and negative chirality t

We present a fast and accurate method for measurement of the twist elastic constant of nematic liquid crystals using pi-cell devices. We observe that there are two bifurcations during the transition from the bend state to the planar 180° twisted sta

The influence of the polymer network on the dynamic switching behaviour of polymer-stabilised pi-cell devices is investigated in detail. The stabilisation technique is shown experimentally to increase the relaxation and switch-on times of the device

Sivaramakrishna Chandrasekhar died at the age of 73 years at his home in Bangalore. This sad news came from Chandrasekhar's daughter, Indira. She wrote: ‘My father had a mild heart attack followed by a stroke at the end of January, but he was recov

A novel method is described for the measurement of long pitch lengths in chiral nematic liquid crystals using the bowing of reverse twist disclination lines in 90° twisted nematic devices. The method has been used to measure pitch lengths of up to 5

We present a detailed discussion of the relaxation of splayed states in untwisted devices — the asymmetric H state (Ha), and the recently observed symmetric H state (Hs). Experimental evidence suggests that the Hs does not experience the optical bo

An examination of an active waveplate device using a one-dimensional model, giving numerical and analytical results, is presented. The model calculates the director and twist configuration by minimizing the free energy of the system with simple homeo

Polymer Stabilised Liquid Crystal (PSLC) devices contain a polymer network (PN) formed from a liquid crystal host containing a low concentration of reactive liquid crystalline monomers. If a strongly UV absorbing liquid crystal is used, the UV intens
