Complex field-stabilised nematic defect structures in Laguerre-Gaussian optical tweezers
Novel optical field-stabilised defect structures are presented in nematic liquid crystals as produced by Laguerre-Gaussian optical beams. Our modelling study is based on the phenomenological free energy approach. To mimic generic experiments, Laguerre-Gaussian optical beams of various helical indice...
