Liquid crystal is a state of matter intermediate between isotropic liquid and anisotropic crystal. The mechanical and optical properties of liquid crystals are highly nonlinear. Consequently, they are naturally soliton-bearing media. After a brief general introduction, five topics in recent developm
We show that bright-dark vector solitons are possible in biased two-photon photorefractive crystals under steady-state conditions. The analytical solutions of these vector solitons can be obtained if the intensities of the two vector components are approximately equal. When the intensities of the tw
## Abstract The stable phases of liquid crystals whose constituents contain chiral molecules are studied. Starting from the Landau free energy for the order parameter the solitonβlattice solution of the incommensurate phase is analysed in detail. The solutions of the normal and commensurate phases
