摘要：

We report photoinduced surface director gliding with azo dye-doped nematic liquid crystals. This gliding has the same characteristics as that induced by an applied magnetic field. Fast and slow dynamic regimes are observed, the latter fitting to a stretched exponential. In addition, the gliding demonstrates a 'sensitizing' effect for sequential measurements.
