A new microwave photonic phase controlling structure that can realize a continuously
tunable 0° to 360° phase shift using only one DC voltage control is presented. Unlike other …

We report the measurement of pyroelectric field in LiNbO 3 by introducing a new method,
based on optical interferometry. The pyroelectric coefficient of the congruent LiNbO 3 …

We report the observation of spatial confinement of a pump beam into a photorefractive
solitonic channel induced by luminescence [luminescence induced spatial soliton (LISS)] …

In the present paper we review the physics of soliton formation in lithium niobate by means
of photorefractive nonlinearity. Considering the waveguides that such solitonic beams leave …

Composition effect on electro-optic (EO) properties of a LiNbO 3 (LN) single-crystal has
been investigated in a Li 2 O-content range of 47.0–49.95 mol%. Some non-congruent LN …

We experimentally investigate the formation of self-confined beams in lithium niobate
crystals which are doped in the bulk with erbium. Samples have been grown by the …

We show that soliton waveguides written in the volume of lithium niobate crystals with low
power continuous wave lasers in green–blue spectral domain have low dispersion in …

Electro-optic property of Ti^ 4+-doped LiNbO_3 single crystal is investigated. The electro-
optic coefficients γ_33 and γ_13 of a series of bulk Ti^ 4+-doped congruent LiNbO_3 …

A microwave photonic phase shifter that can realize a full 360-deg phase shift is presented.
In the scheme, an optical polarization modulator is used to generate a single-sideband …

In this paper, we numerically investigate the formation and propagation characteristics of
waveguides written by luminescence-induced spatial solitons (LISSs). Such waveguides …
