Abstract
We demonstrate experimentally that spatial solitons in AlGaAs slab wav eguides can be deflected by an electronically induced prism. We also s how that a weak signal beam can be guided and steered by the solitons, thus demonstrating the feasibility of a dynamically reconfigurable op tical interconnect.
