Abstract
We analyse the (2 + 1)D soliton formation in photorefractive crystals with strong optical activity. The complete characterization of a soliton in such a crystal requires a careful determination of its polarization state. In fact, even if the beam experiences an homogeneous propagation, the polarization dynamics require it to reach a well defined state which has been identified on the Poincare sphere. Experimental results for the soliton intensity profile and for its polarization dynamics are in good agreement with numerical simulations.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
