摘要：
We show how to transform multiple real-time photorefractive solitons into permanent two-dimensional single-mode waveguides. impressed into the crystalline lattice of the host material. We experimentally demonstrate two specific configurations of such fixed multiple waveguides: directional couplers and multiple beam splitters. (C) 2001 Optical Society of America.
