We report the result of an accurate calculation of optical transmission of a light beam traveling along the helix direction of a heliconical cholesteric liquid crystal when the light intensity is affecting the director orientation by an effective optical torque. The study is based on the application of Ambartsumian's layer addition modified method with the aim of taking into account the continuous modification of the wave field during propagation, which is quite strong when the light wavelength approaches the Bragg resonance. We show first, that the recently calculated red shift of the transmission gap is confirmed under the constant intensity approximation. Additionally, by taking into account the full modulation of the optical field occurring at wavelengths close to the Bragg resonance, a weak red shift is already observable at very low intensities, but quickly has the onset of instabilities in the optical transmission. We give the first account of this effect, which is dependent on the light intensity showing and that it corresponds to the onset of non-uniform distribution of the conical angle and pitch of the structure.
