Abstract

Soliton waveguides have been written by green light, wavelength for which the photorefractive response of lithium niobate is very efficient and for which the formation dynamics is relatively fast. Furthermore induced waveguides have a size small enough to grant a sufficiently high photon flux intensity to pump the active medium. The whole cavity was designed to resonate at 1530 nm.
