Abstract

The effective refractive index modulation of a nematic liquid crystal system as a function of the substrate anchoring energy is investigated. It was found that the threshold value for the Freedericksz transition shifts to higher values as the anchoring parameter, a, is increased. The amount of effective refractive index change of the gratings formed decreases as the anchoring strength is increased.
