A system based on photon correlation spectroscopy has been constructed using a microcomputer to measure the spectral width of Rayleigh light scattered from nematic liquid crystals. Maps in the (α, φ, θ=0° ) space have been devised to find the most suitable scatterinu geometries for the determination of K1/ηsplay, K2/ηtwist and K3/ηbend, where α, φ and θ specify the scattering angle and the director direction. The ratios have been obtained as a function of TNI–T for 4'-alkyl-4-cyanobiphenyls (n=5∼8).
