Induced modulation instability and recurrence in nematic liquid crystals.
We study induced modulation instability in a nematic liquid crystal cell. Two broad elliptical beams along one direction are launched into the cell. The two beams have slightly different angle in order to create a sinusoidally varying intensity at the entrance of the cell. In this way, the gain of perturbations with different spatial frequency is investigated. The evolution of the optical patte...
متن کاملVector vortex solitons in nematic liquid crystals.
We analyze the existence and stability of two-component vector solitons in nematic liquid crystals for which one of the components carries angular momentum and describes a vortex beam. We demonstrate that the nonlocal, nonlinear response can dramatically enhance the field coupling leading to the stabilization of the vortex beam when the amplitude of the second beam exceeds some threshold value....
متن کاملDiscrete propagation and spatial solitons in nematic liquid crystals.
We investigate, for the first time to our knowledge, the discrete propagation of near-infrared light in a voltage-controlled array of channel waveguides in undoped nematic liquid crystals under planar anchoring conditions. This novel geometry enables us to drive the system from one-dimensional bulk diffraction to discrete propagation and, for larger excitations, to discrete spatial solitons, or...
متن کاملDirector configuration of planar solitons in nematic liquid crystals
The director configuration of disclination lines in nematic liquid crystals in the presence of an external magnetic field is evaluated. Our method is a combination of a polynomial expansion for the director and of further analytical approximations which are tested against a numerical shooting method. The results are particularly simple when the elastic constants are equal, but we discuss the ge...
متن کاملTwo-color interface vortex solitons
We study the existence and properties of vortex solitons supported by an interface between two distinct optical lattices imprinted in nonlinear quadratic media. We analyze the impact of guiding parameters of lattices and phase mismatching conditions on the existence and stability of two-color interface vortex solitons. The salient point is that interface vortex solitons feature highly asymmetri...
