Enhanced transmission of an unoriented mesophase of nematics for the ordinary wave
It is shown that an ordinary wave, as it propagates through a nonuniformly oriented liquid crystal, has a nearly constant phase velocity and therefore it is scattered weakly. The results are important for studying the disclinations in liquid crystals by using optical methods.
