Paper Abstract
Liquid crystal (LC) cells can be used in conjunction with optical fibres to develop cheap and efficient sensors, such as
voltage sensors or hydrophones. In this paper we apply an effective tensor model to describe reflection from gold-coated
deformed-helix ferroelectric liquid crystal (DHFLC) cells. We show that, depending on the polarisation of the incident
light, it is possible to obtain a linear electro-optical response to the voltage applied to the cell. Theoretical results are
compared with experimental results yielding accurate agreement.
