Abstract

We study the optically-induced growth and interaction of self-written waveguides in a photopolymerizable resin. We investigate experimentally how the interaction depends on the mutual coherence and relative power of the input beams, and suggest an improved analytical model that describes the growth of single self-written waveguides and the main features of their interaction in photosensitive materials.
