Self-deflection of dissipative holographic screening-photovoltaic solitons in a biased dissipative photovoltaic-photorefractive crystal

The self-deflection of dissipative holographic screening-photovoltaic (DHSP) solitons has been investigated in the dissipative system, which consists of a biased dissipative photovoltaic-photorefractive (PV-PR) crystal and two coherently coupled beams; the signal beam (self-trapping beam) gets the energy gain from the pump beam via the two-beam coupling process. The analytical results are in good agreement with the numerical ones. Both predict that the centre of the solitary beam moves on a parabolic trajectory. Moreover, the central spatial-frequency component shifts linearly with the propagation distance. The DHSP soliton has the fixed self-deflection that is completely determined by the system parameters, its self-deflection is slight under small-signal condition, which will bring little influence on the formation of DHSP solitons. Furthermore, the relevant properties on the behaviour of bright DHSP soliton are discussed in detail.
