Abstract

The cylindrical cell method for determining the refractive indices of liquid crystals is described. This method is based on the use of a cylindrical cell composed of a pair of semi-cylindrical prisms and the measurement of the incident angle dependence of transmitted light intensities. It is applied to the measurement of refractive indices of nematic and cholesteric liquid crystals.
