A dielectric liquid layer is sandwiched between a pixel substrate and a counter substrate, at least one of which is a transparent. The dielectric liquid layer is made from a liquid that is macroscopically isotropic and transparent, but has clusters microscopically, the clusters being agglomerations in each of which liquid crystal molecules are aligned in short distance order. Because of the presence of the cluster even at a temperature equal to or higher than the liquid crystal-isotropic phase transition temperature of a liquid crystal compound, reduction of the Kerr effect is suppressed even if the temperature rises. For example, clusters containing, for example, (a) a liquid crystal compound having an ability of forming an intermolecular hydrogen bond, (b) a liquid crystal compound having a smectic phase, (c) a particulate, (d) or the like, has a large cluster size and thus have a long life even if the temperature rises.

A nonlinearity compensation technique for a CO-OFDM transmission system in which a proportion (e.g. up to 50%) of OFDM subcarriers is transmitted along with a phase-conjugate copy (PCP) on another subcarrier (replacing a data carrying subcarrier) to enable nonlinear distortion compensation. Nonlinear distortion experienced by closely spaced subcarriers in an OFDM system is highly correlated. The PCPs are used at the receiver to estimate the nonlinear distortion (e.g. nonlinear phase shift) of their respective original subcarriers and other subcarriers close to the PCP. With this technique, the optical fibre nonlinearity due to the Kerr effect in OFDM systems can be effectively compensated without the complexity of DBP or 50% loss in capacity of the phase conjugate twin wave (PC-TW) technique. Moreover, the technique proposed herein can be effectively implemented in both single polarization and PMD systems, in both single channel and WDM systems.
