Abstract

Last decades, the dynamics of localized wave has been studied in a lot of optical systems. The analytical predictions are essentially done for deterministic systems. Only few studies approach stochastic systems, for example works on non-linear stochastic Schrödinger equation [1,2], or on the system of equations that models the light propagation in Kerr medium with non-local and non-instantaneous response [3]. Our goal is to experiment the localized waves dynamics in a stochastic non-local, non-instantaneous medium. We analyse the trajectory of the localized structure in a nematic liquid crystal cell. Indeed, the liquid crystal is well-known to have a non-linear Kerr-type response (also non-local and non-instantaneous) and to be subject to additive noise.
