title: Interplay between nonlocality and nonlinearity in nematic liquid crystals.
abstract: Spatial nonlocality has a crucial role in the optical response of bulk liquid crystals. With specific reference to one-dimensional modulation instability, we demonstrate the tuning of transverse nonlocality in the nonlinear response of nematics.
