## Abstract The implementation of the step‐scan technique on our FT‐IR spectrometer enabled us to follow the electric‐field induced reorientation dynamics of different molecular segments of a ferroelectric liquid crystalline polymer on a sub‐millisecond time scale. It was detected that not only the
