Interference patterns of scattering light induced by orientational fluctuations in an electric-field-biased nematic liquid-crystal film.
A new light-scattering phenomenon from a planar aligned nematic liquid-crystal film is observed and studied. This new phenomenon exhibits ring patterns in the orthogonal polarization. A simple model based on optical interference has been developed, and its predictions agree well with experimental observation.
