Photorefractive materials and solitons Academic Article

abstract

• We investigated the formation and interaction of bright spatial solitons in photorefractive nonlinear media. We demonstrate soliton formation, self-bending, coherent and incoherent collision resulting in energy exchange, soliton fusion, birth of new solitons and anomalous repulsion of solitons. The results on formation of multi-component incoherent solitons (vector solitons) are also presented.
