title: Temporal development of photorefractive solitons up to telecommunication wavelengths in strontium-barium niobate waveguides.
abstract: We experimentally investigate the temporal development of photorefractive solitons in strontium-barium niobate waveguides at visible and infrared wavelengths. The development times in the infrared are shown to be comparable with those in the visible. The results are compared with predictions of a previously published model.
