Dark Solitons in Nematic Liquid Crystals

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We demonstrate the formation of dark spatial solitons in nematic liquid crystals, with an azo-dye dopant providing the self-defocusing response. A collinear copolarized beam is used to probe the guiding properties of the soliton.
