Restoration of Electro-Optically Induced Phase Shift of Light Passed Through the Liquid Crystal
New method of restoring the phase shift of the light passing through the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) has been developed. Hilbert transformation supported by Unwrap function of Matlab software is proposed to be used for recovering phase shift from experimentally obtained data of light intensity vs. applied voltage. The method makes the phase shift dependence less sensitive to measurement noises.
