Calculations of the planar cholesteric texture with homeotropic boundary conditions are presented. At a constant film thickness there is a critical twist t0c below which the planar texture has transformed into a homeotropic one. The additional influence of an external field is discussed for positive and negative anisotropy and with field orientations parallel or normal to the film plane. A general solution of the director field has been found for a normal orientation of the field. A properly adjusted twist t0 obtained by dilution of an optically active material in a nematic matrix opens a possibility to reduce the critical voltage in technical devices.

The linear electro-optic (EO) and electro-gyration (EG) effects are studied in an optically active material systems including Bi 12 SiO 20 (BSO) oxide and bent-core liquid crystals. In an isotropic BSO sample, the breaking of intrinsic centro-symmetry allowed the EO modulation of the refractive index. In a mixture of bent-shaped liquid crystalline molecules having both optical activity and birefringence, the observed intensity modulation is investigated, which is related to the nonlinear optical responses of both the optical rotatory power and the birefringence. Both the linear EO and EG effects are understood in terms of the superposition principle of linear and circular birefringences.
