Abstract
We predict and analyze the formation of photorefractive polymeric solitons, which are supported by both the orientationally enhanced birefringence and the orientationally enhanced electro-optic effects. The formation conditio ns and characteristics of this new type of optical spatial soliton are disc ussed. (C) 2001 Optical Society of America.
