The first volume of the theme issue concentrated on the theory of dissipative structures. In
this volume, we focus on its applications in various fields of nonlinear science. The …

Various out-of-equilibrium physical systems exhibit concentric ring patterns. However, these
patterns are expected to be unstable due to the interaction of spatial modes. Here, we show …

In this paper, a three-dimensional accurate modeling of nematic liquid crystal (LC) has been
presented for the analysis of reconfigurable reflectarray cells based on LC. Both single …

The use of dye-doped liquid crystals allows the amplification of the coupling of light and
liquid crystals. Light can induce the self-organization of the molecular order. The …

Interfaces limiting two phases in driven systems may exhibit rich dynamical behaviors.
Optically induced phase transitions are of particular interest for the study of interfacial …

Optical coupling in pattern-forming systems brings out the emergence and transition of
complex spatiotemporal behaviors. A liquid crystal light valve experiment with translational …

Interfaces between two phases may exhibit enthralling shapes. Optically driven phase
transitions are a benchmark that enables spatial control in the order parameter. Dye-doped …

The use of dye-doped liquid crystals allows the amplification of the coupling of light and
liquid crystals. Light can induce the self-organization of the molecular order. The …

2 Experimental setup To study the phenomena when the light is induced in a DDLC, we
observe the spectrum of our dye-dopant (methyl red methyl ester) in Fig. 1, in this way we …
