Spatial Optical Solitons in Planar Waveguides Based on Electrooptical Crystals

  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

The characteristics of spatial optical solitons in planar waveguides based on electrooptical crystals can differ essentially from the corresponding characteristics for a three-dimensional medium. The main experimental findings relating to the effects of the formation of spatial optical solitons and their interaction in optical waveguides in lithium niobite and strontium – barium niobite crystals at very low light intensities are discussed.
