Abstract
The transmission of light through a layer of cholesteric liquid crystals (C LCs) encapsulated in a polymer and suspended in water is studied both theor etically and experimentally. The morphology of the capsules is considered a longside with spectral dependences of light transmission through a plane-pa rallel layer of aqueous CLCs dispersions.
