Optical Imaging and Analytical Design of Localized Topological Structures in Chiral Liquid Crystals

We combine numerical modeling and analytical design techniques to study several of the most common localized topological structures in frustrated chiral nematic liquid crystal cells. An energy minimization procedure is applied to the lattice model to simulate the director field distributions. These...
