Optical nonlinearity and existence conditions for quasi-steady-state photorefractive solitons

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Generalizing soliton description using spatiotemporal wave variables, we identify and experimentally validate the nonlinearity supporting quasi-steady-state solitons in biased photorefractive crystals for the one-dimensional case, the transient counterpart of the explicit one-dimensional screening soliton theory. The approach leads to a non-Kerr-like spatially local exponential nonlinearity and explicitly provides soliton existence conditions. These find quantitative agreement with a series of experiments in potassium lithium tantalate niobate and reproduce previously described transient behavior.
