44. By measuring interference fringes formed by monochromatic light transmitted through the optical cells, we determined the thicknesses of the cells to be within 15-20% of the nominal cell thicknesses of the Mylar spacers (12 μm). Optical cells formed using 2 μm thick Mylar were measured to have thicknesses that ranged from 2 to 4 μm.

46. Interference colors result from the transmission of particular wavelengths of light when using a white light source of illumination. The extent of transmission of a particular wavelength of light depends on the retardation, Δnd, where An is the birefringence and d is the thickness of the birefringent film. Light propagating through the liquid crystal will be extinguished under conditions where Δnd = i, j = 0, 1, 2, ..., where λ is the wavelength of light. Interference colors are divided into orders according to the magnitude of the retardation: 0-550 nm (first order), 550-1100 nm (second order), 1100-1650 nm (third order). (Hartshorne, N.
