Chapter 14
Related Concepts
Several important concepts are closely connected with the optical solitons described in
preceding chapters. Moreover, in many cases the physics of optical solitons is quite
useful for getting a deeper insight into the novel phenomena described by similar non-
linear models. This chapter aims to present several such related concepts. In Section
14.1 we discuss reorientation nonlinearities in liquid crystals and the resulting nonlocal
solitons. Section 14.2 focuses on the physics of optically induced waveguides in pho-
tosensitive materials. We describe the growth and interaction of self-written filaments ...
