UNIVERSAL THEORY OF STEADY-STATE ONE-DIMENSIONAL PHOTOREFRACTIVE SOLITONS

A universal theory of steady-state one-dimensional photorefractive spatial solitons is developed which applies to the steady-state one-dimensional photorefractive solitons under various realizations, including the screening solitons in a biased photorefractive medium, the photovoltaic solitons in open- and closed-circuit photovoltaic-photorefractive media and the screening-photovoltaic solitons in biased photovoltaic-photorefractive media. Previous theories advanced individually elsewhere for these solitons can be obtained by simplifying the universal theory under the appropriate conditions.

Effect of temperature on the evolution of bright and dark screening—photovoltaic spatial solitons

We investigate theoretically the temperature effects on the evolution of both bright and dark screening-photovoltaic optical spatial solitons in biased photovoltaic-photocefractive crystals in the case of neglecting the diffusion process.For a stable bright or dark screening-photovoltaic soliton originally formed in a crystal at a given temperature,when the crystal temperature changes,it will evolve into another stable screening-photovoltaic soliton if the change is quite small,whereas it will become unstable or break down if the temperature change is large enough.The spatial shape of a stable screening-photovoltaic soliton can be reshaped by appropriately adjusting the crystal temperature.

INCOHERENTLY COUPLED SCREENING-PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLITON FAMILIES IN BIASED PHOTOVOLTAIC PHOTOREFRACTIVE CRYSTALS

It is shown that the existence of incoherently coupled screening-photovoltaic soliton families is possible in biased photovoltaic photorefractive crystals under steady-state conditions. These screening-photovoltaic soliton families can be established provided the multiple incident beams have the same polarization and wavelength, and are mutually incoherent. Such soliton families reduce to screening-photovoltaic soliton pairs when they contain only two components. Relevant examples are presented where the photovoltaic photorefractive crystal is of the lithium niobate type.     

Effects of temperature on the stability of separatescreening bright--dark spatial soliton pair

We investigate theoretically the temperature effects on the evolution and stability of a separate screening bright--dark soliton pair formed in a serial non-photovoltaic photorefractive crystal circuit. Our numerical results show that, for a stable bright--dark soliton pair originally formed in a crystal circuit at given temperatures, when one crystal temperature changes, the soliton supported by the other crystal will evolve into another stable soliton if the temperature change is quite small, whereas it will become unstable and experience larger cycles of compression or break up into beam filaments if the temperature difference is big enough. The dark soliton is more sensitive to the temperature change than the bright one.

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.     

Quasistable bright dissipative holographic solitons in photorefractive two-wave mixing system

The dynamical evolution of both signal and pump beams are traced by numerically solving the coupled-wave equation for a photorefractive two-wave mixing system. The direct simulations show that, when the intensity ratio of the pump beam to the signal beam is large enough, the pump beam presents a common decaying behaviour without modulational instability (MI), while the signal beam can evolve into a quasistable spatial soliton within a regime in which the pump beam is depleted slightly. The larger the ratio is, the longer the regime is. Such quasistable solitons can overcome the initial perturbations and numerical noises in the course of propagation, perform several cycles of slow oscillation in intensity and width, and persist over tens of diffraction lengths. From physical viewpoints, these solitons actually exist as completely rigorous physical objects. If the ratio is quite small, the pump beam is apt to show MI, during which the signal beam experiences strong expansion and shrinking in width and a drastic oscillation in intensity, or completely breaks up. The simulations using actual experimental parameters demonstrate that the observation of an effectively stable soliton is quite possible in the proposed system.

损耗对屏蔽光伏空间孤子演化特性的影响

研究了晶体损耗对屏蔽光伏空间孤子在加偏压的光伏光折变晶体中演化特性的影响.结果表明,损耗除了造成屏蔽光伏孤子光波振幅的减小外,还造成了孤子横截面的改变.对于明孤子,当入射波光强较低时,横截面随传播距离的增长而不断增大;而当入射波光强较高时,起初横截面不断压缩,而后再膨胀,并在某一传播距离上孤子横截面恢复到入射时的尺寸.对于暗孤子,不论入射光孤子光强的高低,横截面都随传播距离的增长而不断增大.虽然在传播距离足够短时,可以不考虑损耗的影响,但距离较大时,损耗将最终导致孤子崩溃. 关键词： 非线性光学 空间光孤子 光折变效应     

Propagations of Airy Beams and Nonlinear Accelerating Optical Beams in Photorefractive Crystals with Asymmetric Nonlocality

The impact of the asymmetric nonlocal diffusion nonlinearity of Airy beams and nonlinear accelerating beams supported by photorefractive crystals is addressed. It is revealed how the asymmetric nonlocal response alters the evolution of these optical beams. It is found that the evolution of these beams presents a bending action under the influence of the diffusion nonlinearity. It is also shown that nonlinear accelerating beams can exist in photorefractive crystals with asymmetric nonlocality. These accelerating solutions have the same Airy‐like tail, and accelerate along parabolic trajectories. Soliton states are formed in the interaction of both in‐phase and out‐of‐phase Airy beams and nonlinear accelerating beams and also present a bending action because of the action of diffusion nonlinearity.     

温度对中心对称光折变稳态暗孤子演化的影响

为了得到温度对中心对称光折变晶体中空间暗孤子影响的结果,数值研究了中心对称光折变暗孤子动态演化的温度特性。结果表明,孤子强度包络演化强烈地依赖于晶体的温度和介电常数的温度特性。在290-320K的温度变化范围内,暗孤子的宽度随温度的增加而变大,孤子的峰值强度随温度的增加而变小。在300K的温度下,中心对称光折变介质中可以形成稳定的暗空间孤子,当温度从300K升高或降低时,孤子将克服较小的扰动而保持稳定的传播。通过调整温度可以改变孤子的空间形态。     

Temporal Behavior of Low-Amplitude Grey Spatial Solitons in Biased Two-Photon Photorefractive Crystals

The temporal property of grey screening spatial solitons due to two-photon photorefractive effect in lowamplitude regime is analyzed. The results indicate that a broad solitons is generated at the beginning, and as time evolves, the intensity width of grey solitons decreases monotonically to a minimum value toward steady state. In the same propagation time, the FWHM of solitons decreases with p increasing or m decreasing. Moreover, the formation time of solitons is independent of p and m. The time is close to a constant determined by the dielectric relaxation time.
