Dielectric and metallic nanosuspensions with tunable optical nonlinearities

We provide a brief report on our recent work on dielectric and metallic colloidal nanosuspensions with negative polarizability where we observed robust propagation of self-trapped light over a long distance. Our results open up new opportunities in developing soft-matter systems with tunable optical nonlinearities.
