Abstract

We observed for the first time (to our knowledge) a new type of all optical double-quasi-steady-state photorefractive spatial soliton in a Cu:KNSBN crystal.The soliton was created without an applied electric field but with an inducing laser beam.An all optical switching effect was found in the formation of the soliton.

Soliton-controlled switching in photorefractive media

Soliton-controlled switching in photorefractive media using quasi-steady-state photorefractive, spatial solitons has been studied theoretically. The optimal beam diameters, separations and other parameters have been found for the case of a strontium barium niobate (SBN) crystal. On—off ratios higher than 10 have been obtained

Change in the refractive index of a photorefractive crystal during formation of a spatially screened soliton

A change in the refractive index of a photorefractive barium-sodium niobate crystal in an alternating electric field during the propagation of intensity-modulated coherent radiation in it is studied. It is shown experimentally that a change in the refractive index in the soliton regime in a photorefractive crystal with a small nonlocal response is independent of the external-field amplitude and intensity-modulation depth.

Role of the local response of a photorefractive medium in the formation of a spatial screened soliton

The propagation of intensity-modulated laser radiation in a barium—sodium niobate crystal is studied in an external electric field. The possibility of controlling a nonlinear local response of the crystal is demonstrated. It is shown experimentally that the conditions of formation of a one-dimensional spatial soliton can be changed by varying the nonlinear response of the crystal.

We demonstrate the formation of (1+1) - and (2+1) -dimensional solitons in photorefractive CdZnTe:V, exploiting the intensity-resonant behavior of the space-charge field. We control the resonance optically, facilitating a 10-mus soliton formation times with very low optical power.

Self-action of a light beam in a photorefractive crystal in an alternating electric field upon synchronous intensity modulation

Marina N. Frolova, Stanislav M. Shandarov, Maksim Vladimirovich Borodin

The propagation of a light beam in a photorefractive crystal in an alternating meander electric field is studied. A nonlinear equation is obtained for a spatial charge field formed in the crystal upon modulation of the light intensity synchronously with the applied electric field. It is established theoretically that the spatial charge field has two components, which make contributions to different mechanisms of a photoresponse providing self-focusing and the appearance of spatial solitons, as well as the trajectory self-bending. The conditions are found at which the soliton regime is realised and parameters affecting this regime in a greater extent are determined.
