Liquid crystals are nowadays widely used in all types of display applications. However their
unique electro-optic properties also make them a suitable material for nondisplay …

We review the recent developments of spatial optical solitons in nematic liquid crystals, also
known as Nematicons. We outline their properties, linked to a reorientational nonlinearity in …

We report on the observation and quantitative assessment of self-trapped pulsating beams
in a highly nonlocal nonlinear regime. The experiments were conducted in nematic liquid …

We develop a general theory of spatial solitons in a liquid crystalline medium exhibiting a
nonlinearity with an arbitrary degree of effective nonlocality. The model accounts the …

In this paper, we discuss the evolution of the optical beam in nonlocal cubic nonlinear
media, modeled by the nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NNLSE). A different …

In certain materials, the spontaneous spreading of a laser beam (owing to diffraction) can be
compensated for by the interplay of optical intensity and material nonlinearity. The resulting …

Nematicons are self-trapped light beams in nematic liquid crystalline systems. Thanks to
their optically nonlinear, saturable, nonlocal and nonresonant response, they enable light to …

We demonstrate, experimentally and theoretically, surface-wave solitons occurring at the
interface between a dielectric medium (air) and a nonlinear material with a very long-range …

We have introduced a novel class of higher-order spatial optical Ince-Gaussian solitons
(IGSs) that constitute the third complete family of exact and orthogonal soliton solutions of …
