Abstract

Abstract: We analyze numerically optical waveguiding structures created in photorefractive media by two incoherent counter-propagating 1D Airy beams under nonlinear self-focusing conditions. We then inject a Gaussian probe beam to test our waveguiding structure. By using an anti-symmetric Airy beam configuration in stationary conditions, we find rich and complex waveguiding structures with multiple input to multiple output configurations and transverse input-to-output shifts up to 13 times the guided beam's waist.
