Observation of self-trapping of an optical beam due to the photorefractive effect

We report on the first observation of self-trapping of an optical beam due to the photorefractive effect. The self-trapping occurs at microwatt light power levels, is intensity independent, and results in significant spatial pulse reshaping.
