Abstract
We describe the interplay among solitary waves steering and polarization switching in a KTiOPO/sub 4/ crystal with type II second-harmonic generation in the presence of walkoff. We show that this nonlinear interaction could be used in addressing a space and/or polarization diversity device, driven by the input polarization state.Keywords
