Abstract
dc.description.abstract
A focusing Kerr Fabry-P´erot cavity operating in a negative diffraction regime exhibits transverse propagating
fronts connecting two different nematic liquid crystal molecule average orientations. Under an inhomogeneous
spatial pumping beam, these fronts stop to propagate and lead to the formation of a stable localized structure. The
trajectory of the front position is derived from the mean-field model. Its hyperbolic tangent analytical expression
perfectly fits the experimental data.
