Photorefractive effect of Ferroelectric liquid crystals (FLCs) under application of alternating electric field was investigated. The consecutive rotational switching motion of FLC molecules with an applied alternating electric field was modulated by the photoinduced internal electric field at the interference fringe. The effect of the mechanism of the photoconductivity on the photorefractive effect was investigated.
