Abstract
Steering properties of dark spatial solitons in a lossy saturable nonl inear medium are investigated. It is shown that linear absorption may improve dark soliton steering weakened by saturation of the nonlineari ty. Numerical examples of various steering characteristics for both st ationary propagation as well as dark soliton excitation are presented.
