Steady-state bright-dark vector spatial solitons in biased two-photon photorefractive crystals

We show that bright-dark vector solitons are possible in biased two-photon photorefractive crystals under steady-state conditions. The analytical solutions of these vector solitons can be obtained if the intensities of the two vector components are approximately equal. When the intensities of the two vector components differ, the vector soliton pair solutions can be determined using simple numerical integration procedures. The stability of the bright-dark vector solitons has been investigated numerically.     

Screening-photovoltaic grey spatial soliton families in biased two-photon photovoltaic photorefractive crystal

To study the grey spatial soliton families in biased two-photon photovoltaic photorefractive crystal, the dynamical evolution equation and the numerical solution of the grey spatial soliton families were established. The numerical results show that the incoherently coupled screening-photovoltaic grey soliton families can be established provided the multiple incident beams have the same polarization, wavelength, and are mutually incoherent. The screening-photovoltaic grey soliton families can be considered as the united form of screening grey soliton families and open- or closed-circuit photovoltaic grey soliton families due to two-photon photorefractive effect.     

Higher-order space-charge field effects on the self-deflection of two-photon bright photovoltaic spatial solitons

We investigate numerically the effects of higher-order space-charge field on the self-deflection of bright photovoltaic spatial solitons in two-photon photovoltaic photorefractive crystals under steady-state conditions. The expression for an induced space-charge electric field, including higher-order space-charge field terms is obtained. The dynamical evolution equation is built in which the effects that arise from these higher-order terms are considered. Numerical results indicate that bright photovoltaic solitons can bend towards both the same direction as the crystal's c-axis and the opposite direction, respectively. Specifically, self-deflection cannot occur for bright photovoltaic solitons if the strength of the photovoltaic field and the intensity of the input beam are appropriately selected. Relevant examples are provided.     

Stability of incoherently coupled bright–dark spatial soliton pairs in biased two-photon photovoltaic photorefractive crystals

This paper investigated numerically the stability of bright–dark soliton pairs in biased two-photon photovoltaic photorefractive crystals. Our analysis indicates that these soliton pairs exist irrespective of the polarity of photovoltaic field and external bias field and they are stable only in the particular range of negative polarity. That is to say, the modulational instability emerges for the positive polarity. In range of negative polarity, there exist a characteristic value of photovoltaic field and external bias field. When the values are less than the characteristic value, these bright–dark soliton pairs are stable. If the values are large than the characteristic value, the modulational instability will still emerge.     

Temporal behavior of low-amplitude dark spatial solitons in two-photon centrosymmetric photorefractive media

We investigate the temporal behavior of low-amplitude dark spatial solitons in biased centrosymmetric crystals with two-photon photorefractive effects. The expressions of time-dependent space-charge field and dynamical evolution equation are derived. The temporal behaviors of the intensity profiles and the intensity full width at half maximum (FWHM) of dark solitons are investigated by numerical method. The results indicate that a broad soliton is generated at the beginning, and as time evolves, the intensity width of solitons decrease monotonously to a minimum value toward steady state. Within the same propagation time, the higher the ratio of soliton peak intensity to the dark irradiation intensity is, the shorter the FWHM of dark solitons is.     

Coherent interactions of multi bright spatial solitons in biased photorefractive crystals

The coherent interaction scenarios of two solitons, three solitons, and four solitons are presented. For two-soliton interactions, energy transfer and fusion between solitons are dependent on the relative phase of the interaction solitons, and for multi-soliton interactions, energy transfer will occur in all three relative phase conditions. The magnitude and direction of energy transfer can be controlled respectively by adjusting the interval and the relative phase of solitons.     

Pyroelectric photovoltaic spatial solitons in unbiased photorefractive crystals

A new type of spatial solitons i.e. pyroelectric photovoltaic spatial solitons based on the combination of pyroelectric and photovoltaic effect is predicted theoretically. It shows that bright, dark and grey spatial solitons can exist in unbiased photovoltaic photorefractive crystals with appreciable pyroelectric effect. Especially, the bright soliton can form in self-defocusing photovoltaic crystals if it gives larger self-focusing pyroelectric effect.

Separate spatial soliton pairs in an unbiased series two-photon photorefractive crystal circuit

Dark (bright) steady-state spatial solitons are predicted in one dimension for a series circuit consisting of two two-photon photorefractive crystals of which at least one must be photovoltaic. Each crystal can support a spatial soliton. The two solitons are known collectively as separate spatial soliton pairs with three types: dark-dark, bright-dark and bright-bright. In the limit in which the optical wave has a spatial extent much less than the width of the crystal, the dark soliton can affect the other soliton by light-induced current, but the bright soliton cannot affect the other soliton in the soliton pair.
