Observation of two-dimensional steady-state photorefractive screening solitons

The first observation of two-dimensional steady-state photorefractive solitons is reported. Application of an electric field of 5.8 kV/cm to strontium barium niobate yields solitons with diameters as small as 9.6 mu m at microwatt power levels. >
