Abstract

The dynamics of the optical synthesis of a waveguide channel in a weakly absorbing photopolymerizable composition, representing a nonlinear focusing medium with memory, was studied by experimental and numerical modeling methods. A qualitative model is proposed that describes the formation of a nondivergent light guide. It is shown that an extended (≥1 cm) light guide can form only in a medium possessing a sufficiently high contrast factor (γ≥2).
