Isotropic absorber oscillator

The classical scheme for dichroism measurements implies measuring absorbances (optical densities) for light electric vector parallel and perpendicular to the orientation of director of a planarly oriented nematic or smectic sample. This approach requires high quality polarizers and planarly oriented samples. The alternative technique [50, 53] utilizes a comparison of the absorbance in the isotropic phase (Dj) with that of a homeotropically oriented smectic phase (Dh). In this case, the apparent order parameter for each vibrational oscillator of interest S (related to a certain molecular fragment) may be calculated as S = l-(Dh/Di) (l/f), where / is the thermal correction factor. The angles of orientation of vibrational oscillators (0) with respect to the normal to the smectic layers may be determined according to the equation... [Pg.210]

Since polarisability is a tensor quantity, the resulting optical properties may also be directionally dependent unless this tensor is isotropic. A simple example is illustrated by Fig. 1 where one can envisage that the interaction of the bond electrons will be greater for the imposed field that is oscillating in a plane parallel to the direction of the bond than for a field oscillating in a plane perpendicular to the bond, i.e. where the polarisability is highest. This interaction leads to a decrease in the velocity of the incident wave by an amount defined by the refractive index, n. For a non-absorbing system, the polarisability is related to the refractive index by the Lorenz-Lorentz equation ... [Pg.57]
