Abstract

We achieved the soliton-based miniaturized integration of electro-optic devices in a photorefractive paraelectric bulk crystal, by driving self-trapping through an external bias field in a top-sided electrode geometry. The ensuing spatially resolved electric field manifests a localized voltage-dependent region in which a quasi-uniform field leads to screening-like self-trapped waves at considerably low voltages without sample miniaturization, along with their electro-optic beam manipulation. By replicating the electrode structure, our achievements constitute the basic building block that paves the way to digitally addressable volume photonic manipulator arrays.
