Abstract

The interaction of solitary waves in a nematic liquid crystal (NLC) with a coplanar low power optical beam is investigated. The emphasis of the study is on the control of the solitary wave trajectory by the low power beam and the transfer of momentum between the beams. The results of numerical studies are confirmed by a theoretical analysis of this momentum transfer. The implications for all-optical signal control are discussed.
