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 …

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 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 …

We find that the recently introduced model of self-trapping supported by a spatially growing
strength of a repulsive nonlinearity gives rise to robust vortex-soliton tori, ie, three …

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 equations governing optical solitary waves in nonlinear nematic liquid crystals are
investigated in both (1+ 1) and (2+ 1) dimensions. An isolated exact solitary wave solution is …

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 …

We reveal a controllable manipulation of anomalous interactions between Airy beams in
nonlocal nematic liquid crystals numerically. With the help of an in-phase fundamental …

We develop a modulation theory model based on a Lagrangian formulation to investigate
the evolution of dark and gray optical spatial solitary waves for both the defocusing …

We report solutions for expanding dipole-type optical solitary waves in two-dimensional Kerr
media with the self-focusing nonlinearity, using exact analytical (Hirota) and numerical …
