Abstract
Electroclinic liquid crystal materials are promising for applications, such as spatial light modulators, that require analog phase modulation capability and fast response times1. The evolution of this technology greatly depends on the development of chiral smectic A materials with large induced tilt angles, field-independent and fast switching times and a broad operating temperature range. Development of such materials require a fundamental understanding of the molecular structure and its relation to the electrooptic performance.
