Universal morphologies of fluid interfaces deformed by the radiation pressure of acoustic or electromagnetic waves
Nicolas Bertin, Hamza Chraibi, Régis Wunenburger +2
We unveil the generation of universal morphologies of fluid interfaces by radiation pressure whatever is the nature of the wave, acoustic or optical. Experimental observations reve…
Influence of the backward propagating waves on the threshold in planar nematic liquid crystal films
Dmitry O. Krimer, Andrey E. Miroshnichenko, Etienne Brasselet
We analyze theoretically the influence of backward propagating waves on the primary threshold when a linearly polarized light impinges at normal incidence on a planarly aligned nem…
Optomechanics of liquid crystals for dynamical optical response of photonic structures
A. E. Miroshnichenko, E. Brasselet, D. O. Krimer +1
We show that the mechanical effect of light on the orientational ordering of the crystalline axis of a mesophase can be used to control the dynamics of the optical response of liqu…
Laser microfluidics: fluid actuation by light
Jean-Pierre Delville, Matthieu Robert De Saint-Vincent, Robert D. Schroll +6
The development of microfluidic devices is still hindered by the lack of robust fundamental building blocks that constitute any fluidic system. An attractive approach is optical ac…
All-optical switching and multistability in photonic structures with liquid crystal defects
Andrey E. Miroshnichenko, Etienne Brasselet, Yuri S. Kivshar
We demonstrate that one-dimensional photonic crystals with pure nematic liquid-crystal defects can operate as all-optical switching devices based on optical orientational nonlinear…
Light-driven liquid crystalline nonlinear oscillator under optical periodic forcing
Dmitry O. Krimer, Etienne Brasselet
An all-optically driven strategy to govern a liquid crystalline collective molecular nonlinear oscillator is discussed. It does not require external feedbacks of any kind while the…
