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 chapters they appear in.
The names of the csv files in the listed folders have a structure of the type {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:

**chapter-2** contains the data used in Chapter 2.

**chapter-3** contains the data used in Chapter 3.


Period of data collection: July 2020 - December 2022

Information about geographic location of data collection: University of Southampton, U.K.
