Y. Jiang et al., Dynamic conversion from self-defocusing to equivalent "self-focusing" in photovoltaic LiNbO3 : Fe crystals, ACT PHY C E, 50(3), 2001, pp. 483-488
We experimentally studied the dynamic behavior of conversion from self-defo
cusing to equivalent "self-focusing" in LiNbO3:Fe crystal under certain exp
eriment conditions. Its physical mechanism is the consequence of both the d
ouble-Phase conjugate Fabry-Perot interference cavity and photorefractive e
ffect. It is possible to form bright spatial solitons in self-defocusing me
dium by the effect of dynamic conversion.
