亮暗屏蔽光伏孤子在LiNbO3晶体中的大自偏转

用数值方法证实了亮、暗屏蔽光伏孤子在有外加电场的LiNbO₃晶体中都可以发生大自偏转,并验证了这种自偏转现象不但与晶体中受主浓度N_A有关而且还与外加电场E₀有关. 在E₀相同的条件下,N_A越小这种自偏转现象越明显,在N_A相同的条件下,E₀越大自偏转现象越明显. 还发现亮、暗屏蔽光伏孤子的自偏转现象不同：亮屏蔽光伏孤子整体都发生明显偏转,暗屏蔽光伏孤子的偏转只是发生在一侧,其极值位置和另一侧几乎不发生偏转. 关键词： 自偏转 空间孤子 光折变效应

分析了开环系统中一维灰光伏孤子的时间特性.基于与时间相关的演化方程,用数值方法得到了准稳态和稳态的灰孤子解,分析了形成准稳态灰孤子的物理机制.结果显示准稳态灰孤子的宽度是与光强无关的,并且它们的形成时间和孤子的峰值与背景辐射强度比成反比.这些性质与开环系统中的亮、暗孤子的性质很相似.同时采用波传播的数值解法,分析了它们的传播特性,结果显示它们在小于10％的扰动下是相对稳定的.     

Waveguides induced by grey screening solitons

We investigate the properties of waveguides induced by one-dimensional grey screening solitons in biased photorefractive crystals. The results show that waveguides induced by grey screening solitons are always of single mode for all intensity ratios, i.e. the ratios between the peak intensity of the soliton and the dark irradiance. Our analysis indicates that the energy confined near the centre of the grey soliton and the propagation constant of the guided mode of the waveguide induced by the grey screening soliton increase monotonically with intensity ratio increasing. On the other hand, when the soliton greyness increases, the energy confined near the centre of the grey soliton and the propagation constant of the guided mode of the waveguide induced by the grey screening soliton decrease monotonically. Relevant examples are provided where photorefractive crystal is of the strontium barium niobate type.     

Grey screening-photovoltaic soliton-induced waveguides

This paper shows that waveguides induced by grey screening-photovoltaic solitons are always single mode for all intensity ratios, which are the ratio between the peak intensity of the soliton and the dark irradiance. It finds that the confined energy near the centre of the grey soliton and the propagation constant of the guided mode increase monotonically with increasing intensity ratio. On the other hand, when the soliton greyness increases, the confined energy near the centre of the grey soliton and the propagation constant of the guided mode reduce monotonically. When the bulk photovoltaic effect is neglected for short circuits, these waveguides become waveguides induced by grey screening solitons. When the external bias field is absent, these waveguides become waveguides induced by grey photovoltaic solitons.[第一段]     

Waveguides Induced by Screening-Photovoltaic Solitons in Biased Photorefractive-Photovoltaic Crystals

We investigate theoretically waveguides induced by screening-photovoltaic solitons in biased photorefractive-photovoltaic crystals. We show that the number of guided modes in a waveguide induced by a bright screening photovoltaic soliton increases monotonically with the increasing intensity ratio of the soliton, which is the ratio between the peak intensity of the soliton and the dark irradiance. On the other hand, waveguides induced by dark screening-photovoltaic solitons are always single mode for all intensity ratios and the confined energy near the centre of a dark screening-photovoltaic soliton increases monotonically with the increasing intensity ratio. When the bulk photovoltaic effect is neglectable, these waveguides are those induced by screening solitons. When the external field is absent, these waveguides predict those induced by photovoltaic solitons.

Dynamics of Incoherent Photovoltaic Spatial Solitons

Propagation properties of bright and dark incoherent beams are numerically studied in photovoltaic-photorefractive crystal by using coherent density approach for the first time. Numerical simulations not only exhibit that bright incoherent photovoltaic quasi-soliton, grey-like incoherent photovoltaic soliton, incoherent soliton doublet and triplet can be established under proper conditions, but also display that the spatial coherence properties of these incoherent beams can be significantly affected during propagation by the photovoltaic field.     

Temporal behaviour of open-circuit photovoltaic solitons

Based on the time-dependent band-transport model in a photorefractive medium, dark open-circuit photovoltaic (PV) solitons are investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Compared with those of the time-independent models, our theoretical results revealed that quasi-steady-state and steady-state PV solitons can both be obtained. Our results also revealed that when r < 1 (r is the normalized intensity at infinity), the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of solitons decreases monotonically to a constant value; when r > 1, however, the FWHM of solitons first decreases to a minimum before it increases to a constant value. Moreover, the FWHM of steady solitons decreases with increasing intensity ratio for r < 1, and increases with increasing intensity ratio for r > 1. We further observed dark PV solitons in experiments, and recorded their evolution. These results indicated that steady solitons can be observed at low optical power, while quasi-steady-state solitons can only be generated at higher optical power. Good agreement is found between theory and experiment.
