- Abstract
This article presents a critical look at the standard theory of bright and dark photorefractive screening solitons. We pay attention to the commonly overlooked fact of the inconsistency of the theory in the context of the accordance of soliton solution with the microscopic band transport models. Taking into account the material equations for the semi-insulating semiconductor (SI-GaAs) and including the nonlinear transport of hot electrons, a simple differential equation has been developed to determine the distribution of refractive index changes in the material for a localized optical beam. An amendment to the standard solution of (1 + 1)D solitons has been proposed, which particularly should be used for dark solitons to obtain the plausible self-consistent solutions
