摘要：
Liquid crystals represent a very interesting material system but their properties in the THz range have not been extensively investigated yet. In this paper we investigate the THz properties of four liquid crystals from the CB family (5CB, 6CB, 7CB and 8CB). In addition to absolute refractive indices and absorption coefficients we present accurate birefringence measurements for different electric fields and temperatures.
