Abstract
A theoretical model which can describe the dynamics of spatial bright discrete solitons in photovoltaic photorefractive media is suggested. Four different types of staggered solitons, symmetric odd and even, twisted and antisymmetric odd one are observed numerically and their behavior is investigated with respect to small transverse phase offsets. A first experimental observation of steering of such symmetric odd staggered solitons in lithium niobate waveguide arrays is presented.
