Abstract
A simple experiment is presented that enables qualitative and quantitative measurement of the extraordinary refractive index direction dependency in an uniaxial nematic liquid crystal. Three liquid crystaline cells were designed in which elongated molecules of nematic liquid crystal align in directions which enable to observe the variation of extraordinary refractive index as a function of the direction of light.
