Transverse instability of incoherent solitons in Kerr media.

چکیده
We calculate the growth rate of the small-amplitude perturbations superimposed on a one-dimensional soliton that is fully coherent in the self-trapping dimension, yet uniform and partially incoherent in the other transverse dimension. Such solitons become transversely stable only if the correlation distance is below a specific threshold value. We show that this threshold for transverse instability fully coincides with the threshold value for modulational instability.

Eliminating the transverse instabilities of kerr solitons
We show analytically, numerically, and experimentally that a transversely stable one-dimensional [(1+1)D] bright Kerr soliton can exist in a 3D bulk medium. The transverse instability of the soliton is completely eliminated if it is made sufficiently incoherent along the transverse dimension. We derive a criterion for the threshold of transverse instability that links the nonlinearity to the la...
متن کاملBright spatial solitons on a partially incoherent background
We present the first observation of incoherent antidark spatial solitons in noninstantaneous nonlinear media. This new class of soliton states involves bright solitons on a partially incoherent background of infinite extent. In the case where the nonlinearity is of the Kerr type, their existence is demonstrated analytically by means of an exact solution. Computer simulations and experiments ind...
متن کاملNeck instability of bright solitary waves in hyperbolic Kerr media
Symmetry-breaking instability of solitons has been studied in different areas of physics and appears as a common feature shared by most solitons despite the diversity of the physical systems that support them [1–3]. In optics, the break-up of self guided light beams through transverse and/or modulational instability has been demonstrated for solitons in self-focussing and defocusing Kerr media ...
متن کاملTransverse instability of strongly coupled dark-bright Manakov vector solitons.
We show, by performing linear stability analysis and direct numerical simulations, that dark-soliton transverse instability is significantly reduced in Kerr media by strong coupling to a bright soliton. High instability suppression can be achieved by use of large-amplitude bright solitons.

Incoherent solitons are partially coherent optical beams propagating without changing their shape in materials with a slow nonlinear response [1, 2]. Such nonlinear materials respond to the time averaged light intensity, which means that even though the phase of the partially coherent light beam fluctuates randomly, it still leads to a smooth light-induced refractive index change and subsequent...
