Abstract

The influence of isomeric state of doped azo dye on the $B_7$ phase of bent-shaped liquid crystal (LC) is studied. It was found that modulating the isomeric trans-cis state of azo dye can change the molecular arrangement of the bent-shaped LCs. To identify these phenomena the observations of microscopic texture, electro-optic response, second harmonic wave generation (SHG) and switching current were carried out..
