Order parameter of elongated liquid crystal droplets: the method of retrieval by the coherent transmittance data.

The inverse light-scattering problem for polymer dispersed liquid crystal film is considered. An optical method to retrieve the tensor order parameter of liquid crystal droplets arranged in a monolayer has been developed. The method is based on the measurement of coherent transmission coefficients of film at normal illumination and comparison with the results of the direct light-scattering problem solution.
