Theoretical demonstration of beam scanning and switching using spatial solitons in a photorefractive crystal

The operation of photorefractive scanning and switching devices is investigated both analytically and numerically. It is based upon the time dependent interaction of two (1D + 1) solitary beams in a photorefractive crystal. The applications are supported by a numerical demonstration and an analytica...

Summary:	The operation of photorefractive scanning and switching devices is investigated both analytically and numerically. It is based upon the time dependent interaction of two (1D + 1) solitary beams in a photorefractive crystal. The applications are supported by a numerical demonstration and an analytical model obtained with a split-field approach.
