Abstract:
Tilting of the director of liquid crystal sandwiched between two cell walls was achieved through interaction with obliquely oriented methyl orange (MO) molecules in the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film coated onto the cell. Slantwise orientation of those MO molecules in the PVA film with respect to the cell surface was achieved by pumping them obliquely with circularly polarized light. The long axis of the MO molecules was found to be oriented along the direction of propagation of the pumped light due to the photoinduced isomerization and relaxation mechanism of the MO molecules. When the MO molecules were tilted 52° with respect to the cell wall, the director of liquid crystal molecules was found to be tilted 3° with respect to the cell surface plane.
