Abstract
Higher-order diffraction from the smectic-$A$ liquid-crystalline phase of cyanooctylbiphenyl (COB) has been measured. The dominant short-range disorder, described by the relative intensities, is in agreement with our estimate of the smectic order parameter based on McMillan's mean-field theory.
