The polarization characteristics of the electro-controlled liquid crystal light modulator

The usage of the matrix method of the light propagation medium optics for the investigation oft the polarization characteristics of the light modulators based on the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) is described. The results of the Muller matrix components measurements of the liquid crystal in the electric pulse process are presented. The character of the matrix transformation symmetry and light scattering matrix of the medium are determined. The general analyses of the temporal dependence of non-zero Mueller matrix components of the liquid crystal modulator were made.
