Polymermethacrylate (PMMA) and polyvinyl butyral (PVB) thin films with
the dispersed liquid crystal droplets are prepared by the described technique. The
measurements of light wave polarization-independent phase shift induced by the electric
field are displayed. It was been shown that the phase shift in polymethylmethacrylate
films can approach five radians at the applied electric field about 10 V/μm.
