Abstract
We study experimentally self-trapping of optical beams in photorefract ive media and show that the trapping is inherently asymmetric with res pect to the two (transverse) trapping dimensions. We also present expe rimental results that show how the sizes of the resultant photorefract ive spatial solitons are independent (within their range of existence) of the amplitude of the externally applied electric field used to gen erate them.
