Spatial solitons, beams that do not spread owing to diffraction when they propagate, have
been demonstrated to exist by virtue of a variety of nonlinear self-trapping mechanisms …

The current research into solitons and their use in fiber optic communications is very
important to the future of communications. Since the advent of computer networking and …

We analyze self-trapping of one-dimensional optical beams in photorefractive, photovoltaic
media for open-and closed-circuit realizations. We show that a passive load (resistor) in the …

We provide a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study of incoherently coupled
photorefractive spatial-soliton pairs in all three possible realizations: bright–bright, dark …

We investigate the interaction of mutually incoherent spatial solitons in photorefractive
media with anisotropic nonlocal nonlinear response. We show that the photorefractive …

It is almost common knowledge now that particles also possess properties of waves. But,
can localized wave-packets behave and interact like particles? This article is dedicated to …

We study theoretically and experimentally the properties of waveguides induced by one-
dimensional steady-state photorefractive screening solitons. We show that the number of …

We investigate experimentally the interaction of two-dimensional solitary beams in
photorefractive strontium barium niobate crystal. We show that simultaneous collision of …

We formulate the theory describing the evolution and interactions between optical spatial
solitons that propagate in opposite directions. We show that coherent collisions between …
