Abstract
The optical behaviour of surface-stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal samples cannot be described using a uniform director profile. The simplest model based on the chevron layer structure and the surface alignment is a triangular director profile. Analytical expressions for the resulting transmitted light were calculated using the Jones matrix formalism and fitted to experimental data results of a smectic-C host made using an optical multichannel analyser (OMA). This simple model gives an excellent fit, with results that are consistent with X-ray measurements of the chevron structure.
