Pattern collapse as a mechanism for the formation of solitary structures
U. Bortolozzo, M. G. Clerc, C. Falcón +1
We report a new mechanism for the formation of localized states, which takes place without front propagation. Correspondingly, localized structures appear as solitary states, displ…
Spatiotemporal pulses in a liquid crystal optical oscillator
Umberto Bortolozzo, A. Montina, Fortunato Tito Arecchi +2
A nonlinear optical medium results by the collective orientation of liquid crystal molecules tightly coupled to a transparent photoconductive layer. We show that such a medium can…
Thermomechanical effects in uniformly aligned dye-doped nematic liquid crystals
Dmitry O. Krimer, Stefania Residori
We show theoretically that thermomechanical effects in dye-doped nematic liquid crystals when illuminated by laser beams, can become important and lead to molecular reorientation a…
Bouncing localized structures in a liquid-crystal light-valve experiment
Marcel G. Clerc, Artem Petrossian, Stefania Residori
Experimental evidence of bouncing localized structures in a nonlinear optical system is reported.
Storage of localized structure matrixes in nematic liquid crystals
Umberto Bortolozzo, Stefania Residori
We show experimentally that large matrixes of localized structures can be stored as elementary pixels in a nematic liquid crystal cell. Based on optical feedback with phase modulat…
