This dataset contains:

Experimental data (transmitted intensity as a function of voltage) collected using the Optical Multi-Parameter Analyser (OMPA).
The names of the data files (csv files) have the following structure {LC}_{wavelength}_{cell type}_{yymmdd}.csv, where LC, wavelength, cell type and the date format are the name of the liquid crystal used, the laser wavelength, the cell type (planar ot twist, in-house or commercial) 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.


Period of data collection: February - December 2022

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


Date that the file was created: 13 June 2024
