Abstract
In this paper they present the aspects of using surface stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal cells as optical switches. SSFLC based switches offer good parameters and construction simplicity. First a short description of liquid crystals is given, than an idea of using liquid crystal cells as optical switches is presented. Next the experiments are described and summarized.
