title: Transverse dynamics of nematicons.
abstract: Optical anisotropy plays a fundamental role on light propagation in nematic liquid crystals. With specific reference to nematicons, we investigate the transverse dynamics due to the interplay of nonlinear self-confinement, birefringent walk-off and a bias-dependent transverse index profile.
