Power-induced evolution and increased dimensionality of nonlinear modes in reorientational soft matter

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We demonstrate the evolution of higher order one-dimensional guided modes into two-dimensional solitary waves in a reorientational medium. The observations, carried out at two different wavelengths in chiral nematic liquid crystals, are in good agreement with a simple nonlocal nonlinear model.
