Abstract
A study of spatial coherence properties of light passing through a nematic liquid-crystal (MBBA) cell is given as a function of the external dc electric field applied to the cell and of initial molecular orientation and light polarization. Two different interferometric dispositions have been used. The molecular motion induced by the electric field is also studied.
