Light beam induced finger instability in a photosensitive liquid crystal cell
Interfaces limiting two phases in driven systems may exhibit rich dynamical behaviors. Optically induced phase transitions are of particular interest for the study of interfacial phenomena. Dye-doped liquid crystals offer an ideal scenario in which phase transitions can be induced by purely optical...
