title: Near surface relaxation time for liquid crystal clad optical waveguides.
abstract: Liquid crystal (LC) clad-glass core highly multimode waveguides, with a column array of interdigitated electrodes arranged on the LC layer remote from the corecladding interface, have been electrically switched between guiding and nonguiding states. The time for 63% recovery is 135-250 micros, and 90% recovery is approximately 0.8 ms.
