Abstract
Electrooptical responses of planar oriented SmC* liquid crystal samples were investigated with and without crossed polarizers by applying A.C. square voltages with different D.C. bias voltages. The switching processes due to the birefringence and the transient light scattering were analized simultaneously. From the results we deduce some conclusions on the structure of the sample.Keywords
