摘要：
The possibility to regulate the texture of a liquid crystal in the smectic A phase with the help of a photosensitive substrate was investigated. It is shown that the light-induced realignment of the director configuration can persist in a nematic-smectic A phase transition and cause rearrangement of the smectic layers within the illuminated area. The ratio between the azimuthal anchoring strengths on the photosensitive and rubbed polyimide plates is estimated.
