This dataset contains:

Experimental data (transmitted intensity as a function of voltage) collected using the Optical Multi-Parameter Analyser (OMPA). The data files are organised in folders based on the figures they appear in.
The names of the csv files in the listed folders have the following structure {LC}_{wavelength}_{yymmdd}.csv, where LC, wavelength and the date format are the name of the liquid crystal used, the laser wavelength and the date of data collection respectively. Each file contains the following parameters: date of experiment, liquid crystal, laser wavelength, voltage frequency, and the transmitted intensity, normalised between 0 and 1, for each value of the voltage amplitude.

The folders are as follows:

**figure-3** contains the data used to produce figure 3.

**figure-4** contains the data used to produce figure 4.
