负性向列相液晶中1+1维空间光孤子:微扰法

利用微扰法对负性向列相液晶中的1+1维空间光孤子进行了系统性的研究, 得到了近似解析孤子解.通过数值迭代, 发现只有当非局域程度大于某一临界值时孤子才能存在.近似解析解即使在一般非局域程度下和数值解也符合得较好. 为讨论孤子的稳定性, 进行了线性稳定性分析, 发现孤子均是稳定的, 数值模拟进一步证实了线性稳定性分析的结果.

(1+1)-dimensional spatial optical soliton in nematic liquid crystals with negative dielectric anisotropy: perturbation method

In this paper, we systematically study the (1+1)-dimensional spatial optical solitons in nematic liquid crystals with negative dielectric anisotropy. Firstly, with the perturbation method, we obtain a (1+1)-dimensional soliton solution in the second approximation.Numerical simulations confirm the analytical soliton solution in the strongly nonlocal case, the critical power of a strongly nonlocal solition is directly proportional to w_m²/w³, where w_m is a characteristic length of the material response, and w is the soliton width. Secondly, the soliton solutions in nematic liquid crystal with negative dielectric anisotropy are obtained by numerical computation. It is found that the bright solitons exist only when the degree of nonlocality is above a critical value. The analytical solutions in the second approximation accord with the numerical ones very well even under the general degree of nonlocality. Finally, to investigate the stability, we conduct the linear stability analysis, and find that all the solitons are stable, which is also confirmed by the numerical simulations.
