Abstract
We study experimentally steady-state photorefractive screening soliton s trapped in both transverse dimensions and measure their beam profile s as they propagate throughout the crystal. The solitons are observed to be axially symmetric, and they self-bend. We characterize the solit on dependence on the optical intensity, applied electric-field strengt h, and beam diameter.
