On the deflection of light by topological defects in nematic liquid crystals
Caio satiro, Fernando Moraes
The influence of controlable parameters like temperature and wavelength on the trajectories of light in a nematic liquid crystal with topological defects is studied through a geome…

Aharonov-Bohm-like effect for light propagating in nematics with disclinations
A. M. de M. Carvalho, C. Satiro, F. Moraes
Using a geometric approach for the propagation of light in anisotropic media, we investigate what effect the director field of disclinations may have on the polarization state of l…

Lensing effects in a nematic liquid crystal with topological defects
Caio Satiro, Fernando Moraes
Light traveling through a liquid crystal with disclinations perceives a geometrical background which causes lensing effects similar to the ones predicted for cosmic objects like gl…
