One system exist which is capable of microsecond electrooptical switching in liquid crystals, on polarized light. It is the well-known SC* valve, which uses a volume smectic ferroelectric material and a weak surface anchoring. A new effect is presented which gives rise to localized polar surface instabilities. Some of these surface induced instabilities persist for high frequency (1 MHz) AC excitation. Their mechanism is not yet understood. Their nematic-like response time is of an order of magnitude shorter, at equivalent field, than the one of the SC*. A control of the surface excitation mechanism would possibly lead to new electrooptical applications.Il existe aujourd'hui un système qui permet la commutation rapide à la microseconde, dan...
