Summary

[edit]
Description
English: As (nematic) liquid crystals are birifrangent and their orientation can be changed applying an electric field, it is possible to change the refractive index seen by an incident wave applying a voltage to a liquid crystal cell and thus control the phase retardation of the reflected wave.
