Circularly polarized optical spatial solitons

Opt Lett. 2005 Apr 15;30(8):863-5. doi: 10.1364/ol.30.000863.

Abstract

We present, experimentally and theoretically, a polymer material system that supports optical spatial solitons of circular polarization. We demonstrate one-dimensional circularly polarized dark solitons supported by photoisomerization nonlinearity in a bulk polymer.
