โœฆ Synopsis

The Maxwell curl postulates have been analyzed for propagation in the vertical microstructurally signif cant plane of a periodically bent nematic (PBN) medium. The ordinary modes are unaffected by the anisotropy and the periodic inhomogeneity of the PBN medium, but the extraordinary modes are. Simple expressions, applicable for small anisotropy parameters, have been found. 0 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Znc.

## 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
