Optical measurements of the twist constant and angle in nematic liquid crystal cells
Abstract We present a reliable optical method for measuring the twist elastic constant $$\text {K}_2$$ K 2 and for assessing the total twist angle in a standard nematic twist cell. The method relies on the use of a non-standard configuration of crossed polarisers and a twist cell, which allows us to...
