By means of the full leaky guided mode technique, the transmittance of the full leaky waveguide geometry which consists of pyramid, matching fluid of refractivity, the vertical alignment nematic liquid crystal cell are investigated experimentally. The experimental curves with different voltages between polarization-conserving transmittance Tss and the internal angle (the angle of incidence for which light is incident on the vertical alignment liquid crystal cell) are obtained. Comparing these experimental curves with the theoretical curves obtained from multi-layer optics theory, the director profile of vertical alignment nematic liquid crystal cell for different voltages is determined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
