Is two-photon absorption a limitation to dark soliton switching?

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

It is shown that two-photon absorption does not always place a fundamental limitation on soliton devices: The steering angle, the key characteristic of switching devices based on the propagation of dark spatial solitons, is almost preserved as the intensity of the background wave decays in the presence of weak two-photon absorption.
