Abstract

Using He-Ne laser, semiconductor laser, and Ar⁺ laser as the light sources, we observed the self-focusing phenomena of light wave at low power and the forming of spatial solitons in nematic liquid crystal. The spatial solitons with a length over five millimeters and multiple-mode spatial optical solitons were viewed. Furthermore, the forming conditions and characteristics of these solitons were also discussed.
