摘要
The dynamical evolution of bright spatial solitons in biased photorefractive crystals is investigated under steady-state conditions. Our numerical study indicates that these optical solitons are stable against small perturbations whereas optical beams that significantly differ from soliton solutions tend to experience larger cycles of compression and expansion. The influence of loss in a typical photorefractive material like SBN:60 is studied in detail. The effect of the external bias field on the self-focusing behavior of optical beams is discussed and the interaction forces among optical solitons are also investigated.
