RESUMO
In this study, the Kerr constant of pure blue-phase liquid crystal (BPLC) without polymer doping at room temperature and the optoelectronic properties dependent on the cell thickness are explored. The relation between the phase and the voltage in oblique incident light was measured via a reasonable vertical electric field for different thicknesses of BPLC cells. It was found that the Kerr constant formula can be amended with the functions related to the cell gap. This study demonstrates a method to estimate the Kerr constant, especially for cells within a small electrical field, which will benefit optoelectronic applications.
