Storage of localized structure matrices in nematic liquid crystals.
We show experimentally that large matrices of localized structures can be stored as elementary pixels in a nematic liquid crystal cell. Based on optical feedback with phase modulated input beam, our system allows us to store, erase, and actualize the localized structures in the matrix.
