摘要：

We demonstrate all-optical switching by discrete beam steering in a voltage-controlled array of channel waveguides in nematic liquid crystals. The model keeps into account the reorientational response of the medium and are in agreement with the experimental data. (C) 2005 American Institute of Physics.
