摘要：

We report the observation of planar Y-junction waveguide splitters that are due to the bulk photovoltaic effect. The junctions are generated by multiple dark-soliton propagation in LiNbO3 by use of low power levels (20 mW) and average intensities of 10 W/cm(2) at 488 nm. input beams of less photorefractive sensitivity. structures in bulk and thin-film media. The junctions persist in the dark and can be used to divide We describe some possibilities for generating other waveguide structures in bulk and thin-film media. (C) 1996 Optical Society of America.
