Abstract

Abstract The static and dynamic properties of the flexoelectric effect in cholesteric liquid crystals are presented. In a simple geometry, the application of an external electric field perpendicular to the cholesteric helix results in a linear electro-optic effect. The switching time for optical modulation is almost independent of the field strength. The temperature dependence of this optical switching follows the Arrhenius type behavior.
