Abstract :
The subject of this work are two liquid crystal nematic materials 2002B and 2002C with high birefringence value in the frequency range 0.3-3.0 THz. We present refractive indices and absorption coefficients for ordinary and extraordinary direction and birefringence of measured liquid crystals. Time-Domain spectroscopy was used for measurements of liquid crystals properties.
