Abstract
Recently the numerical and experimental results of optical self-written waveguides (SWWs) has been demonstrated intensively in the photopolymer media. In order to further understand the mechanism of self-written net-waveguide in photosensitive polymers, light-induced material response is analyzed. Optical netwaveguide trajectories formed using solid bulk of acrylamide/polyvinyl alcohol (AA/PVA) photopolymer material. As part of this work presents a studying of non-linear optics in photopolymer systems to form a net-waveguides. Which deals with the nonlinearity behaviors of transmitted light in photopolymer media, during refractive index changed throughout the optical self-propagating process. The self-interactions of crossing beams inside photopolymer material during SWWs process are studied. It is shown that there is good agreement between the numerical simulation results and experimental observations. These are confirmed the validity of the numerical model that was used to simulate these experiments.
