Transient dark photovoltaic spatial solitons and induced guiding in slab LiNbO3 waveguides

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Dark photorefractive photovoltaic spatial solitons are demonstrated at 532 nm in nominally undoped and slightly Fe-doped LiNbO3 planar optical waveguides. The spatial solitons are observed in a transient regime before transverse modulation instability occurs. Their widths are intensity independent as predicted by theory. Meanwhile, excited mode distribution and Fe-doping concentration are shown to influence soliton width. The guiding properties of soliton-induced waveguides are also presented.
