Abstract
The flexoelectro-optic effect in layers of chiral nematics was investigated numerically. The simulations concerned short pitch materials with the helix axis parallel to the layer plane. Configurations which allow to avoid accumulation of ions at the electrodes and are suitable for square-wave driving voltage were considered. They were related to large rotation angles of the optical axis of the layer about the normal to the layer. Influence of chosen parameters on efficiency of the electro-optic effect was studied.
