Abstract
The most unique application proposed for photorefractive solitons is to utilize the waveguides induced by them for nonlinear frequency conversion.1 Photorefractive solitons induce 2D waveguides,2 that are "fixable" (can be permanently impressed into the crystalline lattice),3 and are wavelength- sensitive in the sense that a waveguide can be induced by very weak soliton and guide in it an intense beam of a nonsensitive wavelength.4
