Conclusions
We have presented the experimental method for nonlinear dielectric relaxation spectroscopy in frequency domain and applied it to Goldstone mode of ferroelectric liquid crystals. The linear and nonlineardielectric specta calculated theoretically are found to make good agreement with those obtained experimentally. Some important material constants for designing liquid crystal display can be simultaneously obtained from nonlinear spectroscopy. This shows one of characteristic usefulness of nonlinear spectroscopy in investigating soft matters.
