The optic tensor configuration of a thin ferroelectric liquid crystal layer exhibiting the electroclinic effect is examined by the excitation of optic modes in the layer. It is seen that the restructuring involves no tilt of the optic axis out of the plane of the cell surfaces. This is interpreted in terms of a quasi-bookshelf structure in the smectic layering of the cell.
