Spatial solitons in chiral nematic liquid crystals

We demonstrate experimentally the existence of spatial solitons in a chiral nematic liquid crystal planar cell. Due to the optical reorientational nonlinearity there were created for a light power of a few milliwatts. The low absorption allows us to observe soliton propagation distance over lengths...
