The in-plane orientation caused by the layer deformation would be complicated, but we simplified it as a uniform orientation, because we detected the light reflected from the cell on average over the whole thickness

• One is simultaneous rotation as the initial rotational direction is upward. The other is counter rotation between the top and bottom halves of FLC layer where the rotational direction is upward in the top and downward in the bottom FLC layer

• We could not evaluate P and Δ separately, but as for the sign for Δ, the result was plus. This is the same result as Ref. 42. As a matter of fact, the sample used therein was 4-(2S, 3S)-[2-chloro-3-methylpentanoyloxy]-4′-heptyloxybiphenyl, the molecular structure of which is quite similar to our sample
