The buildup and decay of these double layers modifies the local electric field within the droplet in time, causing an additional change in the liquid crystal orientation state. Changes in liquid crystal orientation are detected optically, by monitoring the field-modulated birefringence of the liquid crystal. This is accomplished experimentally by measuring the intensity of 633 nm light transmitted through the sample under cross-polarization conditions. A modulated optical signal results, for which the amplitude and phase characteristics are strongly dependent on the local concentration of ions and the viscoelastic properties of the droplet (19).

The respective roles of the real and imaginary parts of the refractive index and their impact both on the measured spectra and attempts to extract chemical information from the images is not yet fully understood. This is particularly important in the vicinity of strong absorbance resonances where the real part of the refractive index can change dramatically over narrow frequency regions, as described by the Kramers-Kronig relations. This might lead to band shifting effects, raising the question of what the expected correlation is between far and near-field infrared spectra, with obvious ramifications for the assignment of near-field spectra.
