Abstract
Measurements of the tilt angle, response time tau(s) and of the polari zation were performed in compounds presenting several chiral smectic m esophases. The behaviour of these parameters under an a.c. electric fi eld, make them interesting for electrooptical devices. We will show th at the electrooptical measurements are good to identify the ferroelect ric phases.
