The editors, Prof. Gaetano Assanto (NooEL, University of Rome "Roma Tre") and Prof. Noel F. Smyth (School of Mathematics, University of Edinburgh), are among the most active experts worldwide in nonlinear optics of nematic liquid crystals, particularly reorientational optical solitons ("nematicons") and other all-optical effects.Research & information: generalbicsscPhysicsbicsscLiquidcrystalsBeamopticsSolitarywavesNematiconsNonlinearNonlocalAll-opticalswitchingGuidedGeometricphaseOpticalmodulation/switchingsolitonsStructuredbeamsVorticesself-localizationspin-orbitinteractionsOpticsofanisotropicmediaReorientationalresponseThermalResearch & information: generalPhysicsAssanto Gaetanoedt1332304Smyth Noel FedtAssanto GaetanoothSmyth Noel FothBOOK9910595066303321Light Beams in Liquid Crystals3040805UNINA
