Abstract

An exact matrix polynomial series solution for oblique propagation in a cholesteric liquid crystal, reported in this journal some years ago, was numerically implemented. After a slight reformulation, it was found that numerical results can be accurately and quickly obtained with a simple desktop computer. With the high accuracy available, boundary value problems can be solved very easily. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## A cholesteric liquid c ystal (CLC) is periodically inhomogeneous along its spirality axis. An exact analytic solution for oblique (i.e., off-a's) propagation in a CLC is presented for the first time. The solution involves only the addition and multiplication of 4 X 4 matrices, and it can be evalu
