摘要
The formation of self-confined beams using pyroelectric effect is numerically and experimentally studied in photorefractive LiNbO3. For a given crystal temperature change, the trapped beam width is shown to be less efficient as intensity is increased. Numerical calculations reveal that the induced refractive-index profile varies along propagation for large intensities due to a nonlinear photovoltaic effect. Moreover, it eventually gives beam splitting for intensities greater than a threshold intensity that depends on LiNbO3 composition. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
