Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Nematicons, spatial solitons in nematic liquid crystals, are a convenient playground for soliton-based phenomena in nonlocal uniaxials. The fundamentals are reviewed and some recent advances illustrated, including bistability, symmetry breaking and random lasing.
