RESUMO
Light propagation through a polymer-dispersed liquid crystal film with nanosized nematic liquid crystal droplets is considered under the Rayleigh-Gans approximation. Multiple light scattering is taken into account by means of the Foldy-Twersky integral equation. Polarization state of the coherent component of the transmitted light is investigated for films with bipolar droplets. Conditions for circular and linear polarization implementation are obtained and discussed. The results are compared with known experimental data.
