D. Andrienko et al., DYNAMIC HOLOGRAPHIC GRATINGS IN NEMATIC CELL WITH PERIODIC BOUNDARY-CONDITIONS, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals science and technology. Section A, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals, 304, 1997, pp. 95-100
Nematic cell with light intensity spatial grating is considered. The i
nfluence of periodic spatial modulation of the director anchoring ener
gy and the easy orientation axis at the cell surfaces on the director
spatial distribution in the liquid crystal bulk under the action of li
ght is investigated. It is shown that in both cases the director distr
ibution takes the form of a superposition of the cosine gratings with
periods which are the linear combinations of the light intensity and b
oundary condition periods. The Frederiks transition threshold value is
calculated for homeotropic cell with periodic modulation of the ancho
ring energy.
