Optical spatial solitons have been demonstrated in bulk nematic liquid crystals. We present an overview of our recent experimental results on nonlinear wave propagation in nematic liquid crystals, focusing on spatial solitons through the reorientational nonlinear response. Various phenomena, including spatial readdressing, weak signal guiding and two-soliton interactions, are observed in voltage biased planar cells.

Abstract

Optical spatial solitons have been demonstrated in bulk nematic liquid crystals. We present an overview of our recent experimental results on nonlinear wave propagation in nematic liquid crystals, focusing on spatial solitons through the reorientational nonlinear response. Various phenomena, including spatial readdressing, weak signal guiding and two-soliton interactions, are observed in voltage biased planar cells.
