Second LC retardance characterization

The retardance of the second LC (oriented along its fast axis) was observed 

1. using cross polarizer technique
2. for 20 voltage sweeps with 0.1Hz sweep frequency.
 
It was found that the maximum and minimum retardance was 988.99 nm and 15.7 nm at the temperature of 30 deg. The rms of error is 0.43 nm. See Fig 1 to understand more about the measurements.
