Controllable shifting, steering, and expanding of light beam based on multi-layer liquid-crystal cells
Urban Mur, Miha Ravnik, David Seč
Shaping and steering of light beams is essential in many modern applications, ranging from optical tweezers, camera lenses, vision correction to 3D displays. However, current reali…
Numerical modeling of optical modes in topological soft matter
Urban Mur, Miha Ravnik
Vector and vortex laser beams are desired in many applications and are usually created by manipulating the laser output or by inserting optical components in the laser cavity. Dist…
Active rejection-enhancement of spectrally adaptive liquid crystal geometric phase vortex coronagraphs
N. Kravets, U. Mur, M. Ravnik +2
Geometric phase optical elements made of space-variant anisotropic media customarily find their optimal operating conditions when the half-wave retardance condition is fulfilled, w…
Nematronics: Reciprocal coupling between ionic currents and nematic dynamics
Chau Dao, Jeffrey C. Everts, Miha Ravnik +1
Adopting a spintronics-inspired approach, we study the reciprocal coupling between ionic charge currents and nematic texture dynamics in a uniaxial nematic electrolyte. Assuming qu…
Defect Line Coarsening and Refinement in Active Nematics
Nika Kralj, Miha Ravnik, Žiga Kos
Active matter is naturally out of equilibrium which results in the emergence of diverse dynamic steady states, including the omnipresent chaotic state known as the active turbulenc…
Nematic colloidal micro-robots as physically intelligent systems
Tianyi Yao, Žiga Kos, Yimin Luo +4
Physically intelligent micro-robotic systems exploit information embedded in micro-robots, their colloidal cargo, and their milieu to interact, assemble and form functional structu…
