Abstract
In this work we study the propagation of light in a twist-oriented pleochroic nematic liquid crystal with pleochroic dye. The dependence of the intensity of transmitted light on the azimuthal angle of the linearly polarized incoming light has been investigated experimentally. As a result, the role of absorption anisotropy has been identified.
