Theory of electrically controlled exhibition of circular Bragg phenomenon by an obliquely excited structurally chiral material. Part 2: arbitrary dc electric field
arXiv:physics/0611015
Abstract
Numerical examination of the solution of the boundary--value problem of the reflection and transmission of a plane wave due to a slab of an electro--optic structurally chiral material (SCM) indicates that the exhibition of the circular Bragg phenomenon by the SCM can be controlled not only by the sign and the magnitude of a dc electric field but also by its orientation in relation to axis of helicoidal nonhomogeneity of the SCM. Thereby, the possibility of electrical control of circular--polarization filters has been extended.
