Observation of optical spatial solitons in a highly nonlocal medium
arXiv:physics/0403032 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.92.113902
Abstract
We report on the observation and quantitative assessment of self-trapped pulsating beams in a highly non-local nonlinear regime. The experiments were conducted in nematic liquid crystals and allow a meaningful comparison with the prediction of a scalar theory in the perturbative limit, while addressing the need for beyond-paraxial analytical treatments.
