Abstract
The electro-optic effect in helical ferroelectric liquid crystal deformed by transverse electric field is exploited to realize a diffraction-based light modulator. Experiments show that a contrast ratio better than 100:1 is easily achievable for the short-pitch liquid crystal aligned homeotropically with oblique readout breaking the initial symmetrical geometry. The modulation obtains low polarization sensitivity for selected directions of the readout.
