Frequency-controlled deflection of spatial solitons in nematic liquid crystals

Frequency-controlled deflection of spatial solitons in nematic liquid crystals
We demonstrate frequency-controlled angular steering of light-induced solitary waveguides using dual frequency nematic liquid crystals. Specially designed comb-shaped electrodes allow the maximization of the in-plane electro-optic angular deviation of the soliton Poynting vector, modulating the resulting walk-off up to an overall deflection of 13° when the frequency of the applied voltage goes from 1 to 100kHz.

Abstract

We demonstrate frequency-controlled angular steering of light-induced solitary waveguides using dual frequency nematic liquid crystals. Specially designed comb-shaped electrodes allow the maximization of the in-plane electro-optic angular deviation of the soliton Poynting vector, modulating the resulting walk-off up to an overall deflection of 13° when the frequency of the applied voltage goes from 1 to 100kHz.
