We have reproduced the process of two-dimensional array generation by using two crossing laser beams in a YAG crystal plate based on numerical simulation considering cross-phase modulation (XPM) and self-focusing. Furthermore, we come to the conclusion that both XPM and the cylindrical symmetry breaking in the initial beam profile contributes to the generation of two-dimensional array. In addition, we have studied the threshold input laser beam power for the two crossing beams splitting in a YAG crystal plate. Our study could be valuable in various applications, such as 2-D all-optical switching devices or multicolor pump-probe experiments.
