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…
Tracking azimuthons in nonlocal nonlinear media
F. Maucher, D. Buccoliero, S. Skupin +3
We study the formation of azimuthons, i.e., rotating spatial solitons, in media with nonlocal focusing nonlinearity. We show that whole families of these solutions can be found by…
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…
Optical guiding of absorbing nanoclusters in air
Vladlen G. Shvedov, Anton S. Desyatnikov, Andrei V. Rode +2
We introduce a novel approach for all-optical trapping and manipulation of absorbing aerosol particles based on a photophoretic force. We demonstrate experimentally, in open air, t…
Spin and orbital Hall effects for diffracting optical beams in gradient-index media
K. Y. Bliokh, A. S. Desyatnikov
We examine the evolution of paraxial beams carrying intrinsic spin and orbital angular momenta (AM) in gradient-index media. A parabolic-type equation is derived which describes th…
