✦ Synopsis

We demonstrate experimentally the existence of single-component multihump spatial solitons in a dye-doped nematic liquid-crystal planar cell. Besides, both the low absorption obtained at the working wavelength of 890 nm and an almost saturated regime of the reorientational nonlinearity allow us to observe soliton propagation over lengths in the centimeter range.

A numerical procedure is presented which permits one to derive a formal distribution of collective fluctuation modes from experimental field-cycling NMR-relaxometry data of an ordered system. The purpose is to distinguish true order-fluctuation modes from local reorientation mechanisms. The evaluati
