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 …

In this review we try to capture some of the recent excitement induced by experimental
developments, but also by a large volume of theoretical and computational studies …

We show that light propagation in a group of degenerate modes of a multi-mode optical fiber
in the presence of random mode coupling is described by a multi-component Manakov …

Spatial solitons in nematic liquid crystals (NLC) are optical beams that maintain their
transverse profile due to the self-focusing effect of light. The mechanism leading to the …

Bound states of solitons, alias soliton molecules (SMs), are well known in 1D systems, while
making stable bound states of multidimensional solitons is a challenging problem because …

We review the impressive progress on light self-localisation into spatial optical solitons in
nematic liquid crystals. We summarise the basic physics and models, outlining the main …

The most recent advances on phenomena and effects which involve spatial optical solitons
stemming from the reorientational optical response of nematic liquid crystals, the so called …

We report on the first experimental observation of stable-vector vortex solitons in nonlocal
nonlinear media with a reorientational response, such as nematic liquid crystals. These …

The study of light beams propagating in the nonlinear, dispersive, birefringent and nonlocal
medium of nematic liquid crystals has attracted widespread interest in the last twenty years …

This article presents the generation and propagation dynamics of a high power Gaussian
soliton beam through a highly nonlocal nonlinear media having cubic-quintic nonlinearity …
