Abstract
Self-writing allows the generation of waveguides deep in the volume of crystals: the beam penetrates into the volume guided by the very waveguide it is forming, a form of irreversible spatial soliton. We report the building block of a possible solution by demonstrating a technique to write a waveguide in the volume through only linear beam propagation.
