研究了基于双光束耦合的光折变耗散系统中全息明孤子的温度演化特性.数值计算结果表明，晶体温度与刚性全息孤子的稳定性密切相关.在一定温度下，全息孤子能在晶体中传播足够远的距离；当晶体温度漂移不大时，入射孤子能演化成稳定的全息孤子继续传播；而当晶体温度变化足够大时，孤子波强度随传播距离增加或减小，入射孤子不能以稳定的全息孤子态传播.讨论了将刚性全息孤子的温度特性应用于光学衰减、中继器件的可能性. 关键词： 空间光孤子 光折变非线性光学 耗散系统 全息聚焦

Evolution and stability of spatial solitons in a photorefractive two-wave mixing system

The dynamical evolution and stability of bright dissipative holographic solitons in biased photorefractive materials in which the self-trapping beam obtains a gain from the pump beam via two-wave mixing has been investigated numerically. Results show that these solitons are stable relative to small perturbations. Adjusting some system parameters, such as the bias field and the angle between beams, can easily control the generation of such solitons. Potential applications in optical switches or repeaters are discussed.     

Temperature effect on the evolution and stability of rigid screening spatial soliton in biased photorefractive crystal

Based on the temperature dependence of two-wave mixing, temperature effects on the dynamical evolution and stability of rigid screening (RS) bright solitons in a photorefractive dissipative system based on two-wave mixing have been investigated numerically. Our results indicate that the stability of bright RS solitons depends strongly on the crystal temperature. The RS solitons are stable to small temperature perturbations. They will not evolve into stable rigid screening solitons, however, and their intensity and width vary with the propagation distance if the temperature deviation is large enough. The potential applications of the temperature properties of these RS solitons in optical attenuators or repeaters are discussed.     

Spatial optical (2+1)‐dimensional scalar‐ and vector‐solitons in saturable nonlinear media

(2+1)‐dimensional optical spatial solitons have become a major field of research in nonlinear physics throughout the last decade due to their potential in adaptive optical communication technologies. With the help of photorefractive crystals that supply the required type of nonlinearity for soliton generation, we are able to demonstrate experimentally the formation, the dynamic properties, and especially the interaction of solitary waves, which were so far only known from general soliton theory. Among the complex interaction scenarios of scalar solitons, we reveal a distinct behavior denoted as anomalous interaction, which is unique in soliton‐supporting systems. Further on, we realize highly parallel, light‐induced waveguide configurations based on photorefractive screening solitons that give rise to technical applications towards waveguide couplers and dividers as well as all‐optical information processing devices where light is controlled by light itself. Finally, we demonstrate the generation, stability and propagation dynamics of multi‐component or vector solitons, multipole transverse optical structures bearing a complex geometry. In analogy to the particle‐light dualism of scalar solitons, various types of vector solitons can ‐ in a broader sense ‐ be interpreted as molecules of light.     

Holographic solitons in photorefractive dissipative systems

A new kind of holographic soliton is proposed for a photorefractive dissipative system consisting of a biased photorefractive crystal and a strong pump beam with a uniform spatial distribution in both transverse dimensions. The self-trapping beam in the system can evolve into a spatial soliton when it couples coherently with the pump beam by two-wave mixing. Unlike the holographic solitons recently proposed by Cohen et al. [Opt. Lett. 27, 2031 (2002)], the most unique features of the present solitons are that they have a fixed amplitude and width that are determined completely by the system parameters and that their existence conditions are independent of the polarity of the bias field. Numerical simulations show that these solitons are stable relative to small perturbations.

为了得到闭路光折变有机聚合物中存在非相干耦合亮-暗光伏空间孤子对,采用数值模拟的方法,对稳态情况下两束互不相干的光束,在闭路光伏光折变有机聚合物中的传播进行了研究。结果表明,具有相同偏振和相同波长的两束互不相干的光束,可在光伏光折变有机聚合物中形成非相干耦合亮-暗光伏孤子对。在给定适当参量或扰动不太大的情况下,孤子对中的亮孤子和暗孤子都能在光伏光折变有机聚合物中稳定传播。研究结果可为光折变有机聚合物空间孤子理论的发展提供理论依据。     

Gap solitons supported by optical lattices in biased centrosymmetric photorefractive crystals

We analyze the existence and stability of gap solitons supported by optical lattices with self-focusing nonlinearity in biased centrosymmetric photorefractive crystals. It is shown that, in first finite bandgap, gap solitons are symmetric in transverse dimension, single humped, entirely positive and linearly stable, while these solitons are antisymmetric with similar profiles, the stable and unstable intervals of the gap solitons are intertwined in the second finite bandgap.     

Spatial optical solitons supported by mutual focusing

We study composite spatial optical solitons supported by two-wave mutual focusing induced by cross-phase modulation in Kerr-like nonlinear media. We find the families of both single- and two-hump solitons and discuss their properties and stability. We also reveal remarkable similarities between recently predicted holographic solitons in photorefractive media and parametric solitons in quadratic nonlinear crystals.     

Gray photorefractive polymeric optical spatial solitons

We show that gray spatial optical solitons are possible in biased photorefractive polymers under steady-state conditions. We find that for a given material parameter the absolute value of a gray photorefractive polymeric soliton's phase decreases with an increase in the beam's grayness, whereas it increases with the material parameter for a given beam's grayness and that the full width half maximum (FWHM) of the gray soliton beam's intensity increases with the beam's grayness when the normalized background intensity and the material parameter are fixed and decreases with an increase in the normalized background intensity when the material parameter is fixed. On the other hand, we also show that N coupled beam evolution equations in biased photorefractive polymers can exhibit multicomponent gray solitons. These multicomponent gray solitons can be obtained provided that the N coupled beams share the same polarization, wavelength, and are incoherent with one another. The characteristics and stability properties of these multicomponent gray solitons are also discussed in detail.
