Abstract
A sensitive temperature dependence of the optical rotatory power of a cholesteric liquid-crystal film in the vicinity of the smectic-A phase is reported. The results are consistent with the pretransitional unwinding of the helical structure. The use of the effect in thermometry is discussed.
