摘要
We predicted and confirmed experimentally that an ordinary wave may propagate through a very thick (~5 mm) nematic liquid crystal (NLC) cell almost without distortions. The physical idea is that: 1) the polarizations of the e- and o-wave follow adiabatically the local orientation of optical axis and 2) phase velocity of o-wave does not depend on orientation. Behavior of polarization around disclination line is studied. © 1992, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved.
