The study of the interaction of spatial solitons in nematic liquid crystal

Abstract
There are three parts in this paper. The first, we study the mechanism of soliton in nematic liquid crystal (NLC), molecules of NLC will be rotated easily by optical field while we apply an external electric field. Then the effective refraction index is changed. The light beam in NLC will create spatial soliton by producing the effect of self-focusing to balance the diffraction. Second, we study the interaction between solitons. One soliton will create a potential well of refraction index. The other one will be attracted in the potential well. These two solitons propagate in the form of spiral, if the separated distance and the angle are suitable. And the third, we observe the phenomenon with probe beam in the path of soliton. The path of the soliton forms a channel like a wave guide. The probe beam insert into the path of the soliton with different angles. The probe beam collides with the soliton in the proper range of angles will follow its path.
