Deskripsi

Nematic liquid crystals are frequently used as a reconfigurable material to control light propagation and as a nonlinear medium supporting solitons. Here, the authors demonstrate steering of such solitons in bulk nematic liquid crystals without lateral anchoring by external magnetic fields.
