Abstract
Electro-optic (EO) switching of polymer stabilized blue phase liquid crystals (PSBP-LCs) based on the Kerr effect is an attractive phenomenon for various photonic devices; however, the Kerr coefficient is not enough to be used in practical applications. Focusing on the positive correlation between BP lattice constant and Kerr coefficient, we investigated the EO properties of PSBP-LCs that have been elongated in the [110] direction by electrostriction. We also discuss the correlation between the Kerr coefficient and the lattice structure by observing Kossel patterns from the sample.
