Abstract

We have obtained optical constants for cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) films by fitting theoretical spectra of transmittance and reflectance with measured ones. Berreman's 4${\times}$4 matrix approach was used for the calculation of theoretical spectra. The fitting method was applied to three samples with different reflection bands and fitted results of refractive indices for CLC samples were compared with measured ones for a parallel-aligned LC sample. It was found that the two results were in fairly good agreement within the error of the fitted results for the three CLC samples.

이론적으로 계산된 투과 및 반사 스펙트럼을 실험적으로 측정된 결과에 대해 곡선 맞춤(curve fitting)을 수행하여 콜레스테릭 액정 필름(CLC, cholesteric liquid crystal)의 광학 상수를 결정하였다. 이론적인 투과 및 반사 스펙트럼 계산을 위해 Bewemn의 4${\times}$4행렬법이 사용되었다. 서로 다른 반사밴드를 갖고 있는 세 종류의 샘플에 대해 이 방법을 적용하였다 CLC샘플에 대한 곡선 맞춤 결과로부터 얻은 굴절률 값을 수평 배향된 LC샘플에 대해 측정된 값과 비교하였는데, 두 결과는 세 CLC 샘플에 대한 곡선 맞춤 결과 오차 범위 내에서 일치하였다.
