A model that predicts the optical transmission switching curve of the ferroelectric liquid crystal (FELC) with an arbitrary drive voltage is presented using Pspice simulator

which is a general circuit analysis software

including square

sine

pulse and triangular waves.The model shows turn-on delay

transient response

and almost perfect memory characteristic of the FELC.The analytic results are in basic agreement with reported theoretical and experimental data.We also integrate these models into electronic computer-aided design tools

which will enable circuit and system designers to simultaneously simulate electrical and optical performance.
