18. In this temperature range the selective reflection spectra for oblique incidence of the light showed two dips: one corresponding to the ordinary selective reflection due to the half pitch (∼761-788nm) and the other due to the full pitch band (1503-1577 nm). These observations are a characteristic feature of Sm C phase and the temperature above which no dip in the reflection spectra is observed. This rules out the possibility of the high temperature phase being a two-layer one.
