Abstract
We show how to transform multiple real-time photorefractive solitons into p ermanent two-dimensional single-mode waveguides. impressed into the crystal line lattice of the host material. We experimentally demonstrate two specif ic configurations of such fixed multiple waveguides: directional couplers a nd multiple beam splitters. (C) 2001 Optical Society of America.
