In a biased dissipative photovoltaic-photorefractive system, this paper investigates the temperature effect on the evolution and the self-deffection of the dissipative holographic screening-photovoltaic (DHSP) solitons. The results reveal that, the evolution and the self-deffection of the bright and dark DHSP solitons are influenced by the system temperature. At a given temperature, for a stable DHSP soliton originally formed in the dissipative system, it attempts to evolve into another DHSP soliton when the temperature change is appropriately small, whereas it will become unstable or break down if the temperature departure is large enough. Moreover, the self-deffection degree of the solitary beam centre increases as temperature rises in some range, while it is decided by the system parameters and is slight under small-signal condition. The system temperature can be adjusted to change the formation and the self-deffection of the solitary beam in order to gain certain optical ends. In a word, the system temperature plays a role for the DHSP solitons in the dissipative system.
Based on the theory of one-dimensional separate soliton pairs formed in a serial photorefractive crystal circuit, we investigated the temperature effects of the dark soliton on the self-deflection of the bright soliton in a bright-dark soliton pair. The numerical results obtained by solving the nonlinear propaga-tion equation showed that the bright soliton moves on a parabolic trajectory in the crystal and its spa-tial shift changed with the temperature of the dark soliton. The higher the temperature of the dark soli-ton was, the smaller the spatial shift of the bright soliton was. The self-bending process was further studied by the perturbation technique, and the results were found to be in good agreement with that obtained by the numerical method.
In a photovoltaic dissipative system, evolution and stability of a bright dissipative holographic photo- voltaic (DHP) soliton are completely determined by the given dissipative system, i.e., they are impacted by the system parameters, such as the system temperature, the photovoltaic field of the crystal, the angle between two input beams, and the angle of polarized direction. Such DHP solitons can be easily amplified or absorbed by adjusting these system parameters. They have potential applications in op- tical switches or repeaters.

The temperature effects on the evolution and self-deflection of bright spatial optical solitons in photo-voltaic photorefractive media were investigated by taking into account diffusion effects. The numerical results show that the evolution of the bright solitary beam depends strongly on the crystal temperature. It is also found that the bending distance of the bright solitary beam centre increases and reaches its maximum value at a characteristic temperature, and then decreases as temperature rises and ap-proaches zero at low and high temperatures. Both the maximum value and characteristic temperature increase with the input power density. The self-deflection of bright solitary beam is further studied by a perturbation technique, and the results are found to be in good agreement with that obtained by the numerical method. The diffusion process and the dark irradiance dominate the temperature depend-ence of bending distance in most values of temperature besides at the characteristic temperature and in the higher temperature regime. The diffusion process will mainly dominate the temperature dependence at the characteristic temperature and the dark irradiance will dominate in the higher tem-perature range.
