Abstract:
The dynamics of self-written waveguides in bulk photosensitive media is studied in detail and contrasted with previous results for planar geometry. We investigate the symmetry and integrability properties of the coupled nonlinear partial differential equations which describe this process. We derive similarity-reduced differential equations and study some of these equations numerically.
