Screening-photovoltaic bright solitons in lithium niobate and associated single-mode waveguides

TL;DR: In this article, two-dimensional bright circular solitons are formed thanks to a strong static bias field, externally applied, opposite to the photovoltaic internal field, and the dynamics of the soliton formation is monitored and compared to a time-dependent numerical model.

Screening-photovoltaic spatial solitons in biased photovoltaic–photorefractive crystals and their self-deflection

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the self-deflection process of bright screening-photovoltaic solitons by taking diffusion effects into account, and they found that the center of the optical beam moves on a parabolic trajectory and moreover, the central spatial-frequency component shifts linearly with the propagation distance.

Phase imaging of cells by simultaneous dual-wavelength reflection digital holography

TL;DR: A phase-imaging technique to quantitatively study the three-dimensional structure of cells, based on the simultaneous dual-wavelength digital holography, which allows for higher axial range at which the unambiguous phase imaging can be performed.

Fusion and birth of spatial solitons upon collision.

TL;DR: In this paper, the collision of photorefractive screening solitons in a strontium barium niobate crystal has been studied experimentally, and the effects of the collision on the relative phase and the intersecting angle of the soliton have been observed.

Observation of incoherently coupled photorefractive spatial soliton pairs

TL;DR: It is reported that the first observation of incoherently coupled photorefractive spatial soliton pairs is reported, and it is believed that this observation is the first of its kind.

Nonlinear Fiber Optics

TL;DR: The field of nonlinear fiber optics has advanced enough that a whole book was devoted to it as discussed by the authors, which has been translated into Chinese, Japanese, and Russian languages, attesting to the worldwide activity in the field.

Holographic storage in electrooptic crystals. i. steady state

TL;DR: In this paper, a non-linear theory of self-diffraction on the light induced grating of refractive index in electrooptic crystals is developed and the intensities of the diffracted beams, the diffraction efficiency, and the shape of the surfaces of equal index change are calculated analytically for saturation holograms.

Spatial solitons in photorefractive media.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that photorefractive media can support a new type of spatial soliton, in which the diffraction is balanced by the self-scattering (two-wave mixing) of the beam spatial frequency components.

Steady-state spatial screening solitons in photorefractive materials with external applied field.

TL;DR: Steady-state planar spatial solitons are predicted for photorefractive materials when the diffraction of an optical beam is exactly compensated by nonlinear self-defocusing as mentioned in this paper.
