the theoretical model of optical rotatory rate of short pitch CLC(Cholesteric Liquid Crystal) was established and calculated. Variations of the optical rotation angle with external factors like incident angle
pitch and the thickness of LC cell were simulated by MATLAB and also verified by experiments. Experimental research on temperature sensor of CLC optical rotatory was studied as well. The optical rotatory angle curves with temperature of CLC from pitch 250 nm to 310 nm in different conditions were measured by polarimeter to get the thermal sensing rotatory characteristics of CLC. Results illustrated that CLC optical rotatory angle varies obviously and regularly with temperature in different conditions even though there's differences on different pitch. The stability of its thermal sensing effect was verified by experiments too. The results proved that CLC can be used as a potential thermal sensing materiels. The study provided experimental basis for CLC's use on temperature sensor.
