Abstract

By studying an anthranquinone dye with two orthogonal transition moments in the visible, asymmetry of the molecular orientational distribution function in nematic hosts E43 and 1132 has been demonstrated experimentally and estimates obtained for the order parameter (<✓3sin² θcos2P) of the dye.
