摘要

Experimental multielement planar and channel waveguide structures induced by coherent radiation in bulk samples of photorefractive lithium niobate and planar waveguides on their basis including those formed in a projection scheme with scaling of image dimensions are described. The possibility of linear and nonlinear light localization in optically-induced bulk and planar one-dimensional photorefractive photonic superlattices is demonstrated.
