Abstract: | We investigate the propagation of nematicons in various nematic liquid crystals. Following some general considerations on
the role of material parameters in light self-trapping via a reorientational nonlinear response, we discuss numerical results
on light self-action and transverse localization. Finally, we validate our findings with experimental measurements in three
liquid crystalline mixtures featuring different amounts of birefringence. |
