چکیده
We demonstrate self-trapping of one-dimensional and two-dimensional optical beams in a photorefractive KNbO(3) crystal. We study the waveguides induced by the self-trapped beams for prospective applications of tunable nonlinear frequency conversion in soliton-induced waveguides.

Optical spatial screening solitons in photorefractive crystals in a one-dimensional case based on Kukhtarev model is studied. The new numerical scheme according to the Crank-Nicholson method accompanied by the central difference method is introduced to find the bright soliton solution. Simulation of the propagation is performed to show the dynamical evolution of solitons and check their stabi...
متن کاملWaveguides and waveguide arrays formed by incoherent light in photorefractive materials
We report on experimental observations of nonlinear optical waveguides and waveguide arrays formed by incoherent light in photorefractive materials. Such waveguides are made possible by creating partially spatially incoherent solitons in a noninstantaneous self-focusing photorefractive medium. In addition to planar, Y-junction, and circular waveguides, we report the first demonstration of pixel...

Propagation of incoherently soliton pairs in photorefractive crystals under steady-state conditions is studied. These soliton states can be generated when the two mutually incoherent optical beams with the same polarization and wavelength incident on the biased photorefractive crystal. Such soliton pairs can exist in bright-bright, dark-dark, gray-gray as well as in bright-dark types. In this p...
متن کاملCounterpropagating self-trapped beams in photorefractive crystals
A time-dependent model for the formation of self-trapped optical beams in photorefractive media by counterpropagating laser beams is analysed. It is shown that dynamically the beams may form stable steady-state structures or display periodic and irregular temporal behaviour. Steady-state solutions of non-uniform cross section are found, representing a general class of self-trapped waveguides, t...
متن کاملCounterpropagating surface solitons in two-dimensional photorefractive lattices
We study interaction of counterpropagating beams in truncated two-dimensional photonic lattices induced optically in photorefractive crystals, and demonstrate the existence of counterpropagating surface solitons localized in the lattice corners and at the edges. We display intriguing dynamical properties of such composite optical beams and reveal that the lattice surface provides a strong stabi...
