Dipole-mode vector solitons in anisotropic photorefractive media Academic Article

abstract

• Stable dipole-mode vector solitons in photorefractive (PR) crystals are studied, both in numerical simulations and in experimental investigation. Numerically exact multi-humped solitary solutions to the propagation equations of two incoherently coupled beams in PR media with an anisotropic nonlocal material response are found. A continuous set of dipole-mode vector solitons, ranging from the solitons with negligible dipole-mode contribution to the solitons with negligible ground mode contribution, is identified. The results are compared with experimental data. 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
