Abstract
This paper investigates the possible use of the twisted smectic C* liquid crystal effect (TS) in OASLMs. An averaging uniaxial model of the TS using the Jones Calculus is described, which can qualitatively and, to a certain extent, quantitatively simulate and account for the optical throughput in the transmission and reflection modes of such grey scale liquid crystal modulators. Three samples of different thicknesses namely, 1.38, 2.6 and 3.05μm in the transmission mode and a sample thickness of approximately 2.0μm in the reflection mode have been simulated.
