Formation and stability of vortex solitons in nematic liquid crystals
Pawel S. Jung, Yana V. Izdebskaya, Vladlen G. Shvedov +2
We study the propagation dynamics of bright optical vortex solitons in nematic liquid crystals with a nonlocal reorientational nonlinear response. We investigate the role of optica…
Transverse relativistic effects in paraxial wave interference
Konstantin Y. Bliokh, Yana V. Izdebskaya, Franco Nori
We consider relativistic deformations of interfering paraxial waves moving in the transverse direction. Owing to superluminal transverse phase velocities, noticeable deformations o…
Multimode nematicon waveguides
Yana V. Izdebskaya, Anton S. Desyatnikov, Gaetano Assanto +1
We report on the first experimental observation of higher-order modes guided by soliton-induced waveguides in unbiased nematic liquid crystals. We find that the nematicon waveguide…
Incoherent interaction of nematicons in bias-free liquid-crystal cells
Yana Izdebskaya, Vlad Shvedov, Anton Desyatnikov +3
We study experimentally the propagation dynamics and interaction of a pair of mutually incoherent nematicons: spatial optical solitons in nematic liquid crystals. In contrast to ea…
Interaction of nematicons in a bias-free liquid crystal cell
Yana Izdebskaya, Vladlen Shvedov, Anton S. Desyatnikov +3
We study experimentally the propagation dynamics and interaction of spatial optical solitons in a bias-free cell filled with nematic liquid crystals. We reveal and measure long-ran…
Momentum transfer in a standing optical vortex
V. G. Shvedov
A field superposition of singular beams incident on, and then reflected from a mirror has been investigated. It was demonstrated that the standing optical wave, which contains a vo…
