Transmittance spectra of 5CB and ZLI-6000 coded nematic liquid crystals were acquired in the 12 600-22 200 cm(-1) region at room temperature. The continuous wavelet transform using the Morlet wavelet was applied to analyse the transmittance signal. Dispersion curves of the birefringence were obtained for 5CB and ZLI-6000 by this analysis and data were fitted to the Cauchy formula whereby the dispersion parameters were extracted. Results are found to be in favourable accordance with the published values.
