Abstract

We investigate the characteristics of formation or time evolution of optical spatial solitons in novel photorefractive media having both the linear and quadratic electro-optic effect. We have derived a one dimensional time dependant wave propagation equation in biased photorefractive media having both the linear and quadratic electro-optic effect. The variation of soliton width with time is investigated for different values of peak intensity ratio and it is shown that these bright solitons can exist both in the quasi steady state and steady state regimes for high saturation values. Two distinct regimes of intensity ratio are identified where the soliton formation characteristics are different. Only steady state solitons are formed if the intensity ratio is small. Soliton characteristics like the initial soliton width, steady state soliton width, and quasi steady state soliton width are investigated for both regimes and found to depend on as varying functions of the intensity ratio. We also find that the individual magnitudes of the linear and quadratic electro-optic coefficients affect the temporal characteristics of formation of the solitons. Appropriate example has been taken for an illustration of our results.
