Nonlinear wave guiding in nematic liquid crystals
Waveguiding in liquid crystals can be achieved by controlling the molecular orientation by means of external fields or by shaping the geometry of the substrates that contain the liquid crystal material. The creation of these waveguides in liquid crystals can also be achieved by using the optical nonlinear properties of the material. For a sufficient optical power (in the order of a few mW), the...
متن کاملNonlinear Schrodinger Equation in Nematic Liquid Crystals
We derive the amplitude equation, in the weakly nonlinear regime, for an optical wave packet that propagates in an initially undistorted nematic liquid crystal. By using the dyad representation Q i j , we find the retarded and nonlocal equation for the nematic configuration and solve it in Fourier space. This allows us to calculate the amplitude dependent dispersion relation for a nematic liqui...
متن کاملInternal conical refraction of light beams in biaxial gyrotropic crystals
Internal conical refraction in biaxial gyrotropic crystals has been studied theoretically. A special case of Gaussian beam conical refraction has been considered comprehensively. The results of numerical simulation agree well with the available experimental data. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 42.25.Bs; 42.25.Lc; 42.25.Fx; 78.20.Ek; 78.20.Fm

متن کاملNematic Liquid Crystals: Defects
There are two types of defects in the uniaxial nematic F phase: line defects (disclinations) and point defects (hedgehogs and boojums). These are reviewed at three levels: (i) experimental observations; (ii) topological classification; and (iii) curvature elasticity. The reader is referred to the textbooks on liquid crystals (Chandrasekhar 1992, de Gennes and Prost 1993), defects (Kltman 1983),...
