Phase modulation of wave by a polymer dispersed liquid crystal film with nanosized smectic droplets: Theoretical treatment
The model for propagation of a plane wave through a polymer dispersed liquid crystal film with nanosized droplets of bistable smectic liquid crystal is proposed. The analytical expression for polarization-independent phase shift is obtained and analyzed.
