Incoherently coupled bright-dark hybrid photovoltaic spatial soliton families in two-photon photovoltaic-photorefractive crystal

Abstract

Abstract:

The propagation of multiple incoherent spatial soliton in two-photon photovoltaic-photorefractive crystal is investigated under steady-state conditions. It is shown that two-photon incoherently coupled bright-dark hybrid photovoltaic soliton families can be established in the crystals provided that the mutually incoherent incident beams have the same polarization and wavelength .

Key words: nonlinear optics, photorefractive effect, two-photon photorefractive material, bright-dark hybrid spatial soliton families
