## Abstract It is possible by the application of voltage to control the local level in a one‐dimensional photonic crystal with a liquid crystal defect layer. In the present paper, a nematic liquid crystal is used and high‐speed switching is attempted on the basis of the shift of the localized state

The Abelian Higgs model is the basis for a gauge covariant form of the distortion free energy for nematic liquid crystals. This is used to derive a new form of the Ericksen Leslie equations incorporating the dynamics of disclinations in nematic films. The zero liquid flow case is treated in detail f
