Abstract
An investigation into the transmission spectrum of a ferroelectric liquid c rystal device is undertaken. This is done both for an initial static state and during a switching process. Comparisons are made between experimental d ata and theoretical predictions. The dynamic internal director configuratio ns in the device is shown to be consistent with a simple model during both monopolar and bipolar addressing pulses.
