Abstract
Abstract The effect of a light polarization plane rotation in a cell with weakly twisted nematic liquid crystal (LC) caused by phototransformation of chiral molecules has been found. Such a behavior was stimulated by trans-cis isomerization of twisting agent resulting in a strong decrease of its twisting power. Non-stimulated cholesteric spiral unwinding was observed after an exciting light had been switched off.
