Abstract
This paper deals with the development of an effective theoretical approach to generate spatial optical soliton in exceptionally beneficial bulk beta-barium-borate crystal by utilizing cascaded second-order nonlinearity through electro-optic tuning. The proposed methodology paves the way for novel nonlinear optical interactions conceptualized in bulk material depending upon an effective nonlinear refractive index for a broad range of crystal lengths. The development of $({2} + {1}){\rm D}$ spatial bright soliton has been analytically demonstrated at 800 nm wavelength of the incident continuous-wave optical radiation, and the implication of tunable electro-optic effect to the crystal’s nonlinear response is also presented here. Involvement of the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation has been utilized to develop the necessary and sufficient criteria for self-trapping optical beams considering both linear and nonlinear absorption losses. In conformity with the findings of the simulation, the beam diameter of a generated spatial soliton within this anisotropic crystal is near 56 µm while maintaining precise peak intensity ${\sim}{0.8}\;{{\rm GW/cm}^2}$.
