چکیده
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 observability of accessible solitons and establishes an important link with parametric solitons.

Stabilization of vortex solitons by combining competing cubic-quintic nonlinearities with a finite degree of nonlocality
In contrast to an infinite degree of nonlocality, we demonstrate that vortex solitons in nonlinear media under competing self-focusing cubic and self-defocusing quintic nonlocal nonlinearities can be stabilized with a finite degree of nonlocality. Stable vortex solitons in the upper branch, bifurcated from the competing cubic-quintic nonlinearities, are found to be supported when the original d...
متن کاملGap solitons supported by optical lattices in photorefractive crystals with asymmetric nonlocality.
We address the impact of the asymmetric nonlocal diffusion nonlinearity of gap solitons supported by photorefractive crystals with an imprinted optical lattice. We reveal how the asymmetric nonlocal response alters the domains of existence and the stability of solitons originating from different gaps. We find that in such media gap solitons cease to exist above a threshold of the nonlocality de...
متن کاملInteractions of accessible solitons with interfaces in anisotropic media: the case of uniaxial nematic liquid crystals
We investigate, both theoretically and experimentally, spatial soliton interaction with dielectric interfaces in a strongly anisotropic medium with nonlocality, such as nematic liquid crystals. We throw light on the role of refractive index gradients as well as optic axis variations in both voltageand self-driven angular steering of non-local solitons. We specifically address and then employ in...
متن کاملSelf-trapping of two-dimensional vector dipole solitons in nonlocal media
We study the self-trapping of the superposition of two-dimensional vector dipole solitons in nonlocal media with an arbitrary degree of nonlocality. We apply the variational approach to find the exact solution of such vector dipole solitons and investigate their stability by using directly numerical simulations. The dynamics of such vector solitons are also compared with a scalar vortex. We sho...
متن کاملSolitons shedding from Airy beams and bound states of breathing Airy solitons in nonlocal nonlinear media
We investigate the spatially optical solitons shedding from Airy beams and anomalous interactions of Airy beams in nonlocal nonlinear media by means of direct numerical simulations. Numerical results show that nonlocality has profound effects on the propagation dynamics of the solitons shedding from the Airy beam. It is also shown that the strong nonlocality can support periodic intensity distr...
