Abstract

We demonstrate the formation of $\left(1+1\right)$- and $\left(2+1\right)$-dimensional solitons in photorefractive CdZnTe:V, exploiting the intensity-resonant behavior of the space-charge field. We control the resonance optically, facilitating a $10‐\mathit{\mu }\mathrm{s}$ soliton formation times with very low optical power.
