摘要：
In photorefractive waveguide arrays, the process and extent of spectral broadening of femtosecond laser pulse caused by self-phase modulation are studied theoretically and experimentally. The threshold of self-phase modulation is more than two times larger than the common threshold in a bulk sample, which affects the extent of spectral broadening dramatically. The coupling length and the ratio between the common threshold and the input peak intensity of the femtosecond laser pulse are the two key parameters dominating these phenomena. The experimental results confirm the theoretical expectation. (C)2010 Optical Society of America
