Field-Programmable Topological Torons in Chiral Nematic Liquid Crystals

Adithya Pradeep, Urban Mur, Ji Qin +7

Torons are three-dimensional double-twist solitons in chiral nematic liquid crystals that form localised director configurations protected by topology and bounded by closed defect…

Controllable shifting, steering, and expanding of light beam based on multi-layer liquid-crystal cells

Urban Mur, Miha Ravnik, David Seč

Shaping and steering of light beams is essential in many modern applications, ranging from optical tweezers, camera lenses, vision correction to 3D displays. However, current reali…

Numerical modeling of optical modes in topological soft matter

Urban Mur, Miha Ravnik

Vector and vortex laser beams are desired in many applications and are usually created by manipulating the laser output or by inserting optical components in the laser cavity. Dist…

Active rejection-enhancement of spectrally adaptive liquid crystal geometric phase vortex coronagraphs

N. Kravets, U. Mur, M. Ravnik +2

Geometric phase optical elements made of space-variant anisotropic media customarily find their optimal operating conditions when the half-wave retardance condition is fulfilled, w…

Topological liquid crystal superstructures as structured light lasers

Miha Papič, Urban Mur, Miha Ravnik +2

Liquid crystals (LCs) form an extremely rich range of self-assembled topological structures with artificially or naturally created topological defects. Some of the main application…
