This book highlights recent advances of optical spatial solitons in photorefractive materials ranging broadly from the coupling, modulation instability, effect

Solitary wave physics plays a significant role from modern optical physics to optical communication, optical switching and optical storage. This book gives an u

The current research into solitons and their use in fiber optic communications is very important to the future of communications. Since the advent of computer n

This is the first volume of a set of three within the Springer Series in Optical Sciences, and is devoted to photorefractive effects, photorefractive materials,

The photorefractive effect is now firmly established as one of the highest-sensitivity nonlinear optical effects, making it an attractive choice for use in many
