Abstract
Optical spatial soMtons1 in photorefractive crystals2 have shown potential to form graded index waveguides which can guide other beams3,4. A soliton forms when a photoinduced index change in the material exactly compensates for the diffraction of the beam; i.e. the beam creates its own waveguide.
