ELECTRIC FIELD EFFECT ON OPTICAL DICHROISM OF SOME AZODYES DISSOLVED IN COMPENSATED CHOLESTERIC LIQUID CRYSTAL

In the paper are presented the results obtained in the study of the optical dichroism of some azodyes dissolved in a compensated mixture of cholesteryl chloride and cholesteryl-nonanoate under the electric field action. The electric field dependence of the order parameter S of the dyes is presented and discussed.
