Abstract
The measurements of the polarized absorption and fluorescence spectra of stilbene-derivative guest molecules dissolved in some nematic liqui d crystals have been used for studies of the long-range orientational order in thin aligned samples. The temperature dependence of the order parameters [P-2] and [P-4] has been investigated. The influence of th e molecular structure on the orientational order in nematics has been discussed.
