Abstract
We observe spatial bright solitons in a transversely shifting crystal. In this scheme, the photovoltaic nonlinearity in can be switched from self-defocusing to self-focusing by continuous shifting of the beam. Moreover, the shifting velocity has a strong influence on the wave shape of the bright spatial solitons.
