Spatial fluctuations of optical solitons due to long-range correlated dielectric perturbations in liquid crystals
Starting from the de Gennes theory of director fluctuations in nematics, we report on a model of the spatial fluctuations in nematicon propagation. We demonstrate that, when the long-range correlation that characterizes nematic liquid crystals is taken into account in the thermal noise, it is possib...
