Abstract: A theoretical and numerical investigation shows the formation of spin-orbit optical solitons in nematic liquid crystals as a consequence of a nonlinear modulation of the optic axis and the resulting geometric phase in the birefringent… read more here.

Abstract: We report on vortex-solitons generated in dye-doped nematic liquid crystals by a purely optothermal nonlocal nonlinearity. This response not only supports stable doughnut-shaped ordinary-wave beams with orbital angular momentum, but also provides self-confined solitary waves… read more here.
