Self-trapping of light in an organic photorefractive glass.
We report the first observation, to our knowledge, of self-trapping of light as well as optically induced focusing-to-defocusing switching in an organic photorefractive glass, owing to the orientationally enhanced photorefractive nonlinearity of the material.
