Big Incoherent Solitons
نویسندگان
چکیده
We give a classical geometric optics description of incoherent solitons—those launched by a diffuse source. This method is intuitive, advances predictions such as the existence of solitons of arbitrary cross section, and importantly, it provides a simple (universal) analytical description for the incoherent solitons of any nonlinear medium. Previously, analytical results were known for the ln I nonlinearity only. [S0031-9007(98)05343-5]

Experiments on partially coherent photorefractive solitons
We provide an overview of experimental studies on partially coherent spatial solitons in photorefractive materials, including the first experimental demonstration of bright and dark incoherent solitons, incoherent vortex solitons, Y-junction dark solitons and anti-dark solitons, and pixel-like incoherent soliton arrays. These solitons are created with partially spatially incoherent light beams ...
متن کاملسالیتونهای اپتیکی پوششی یک بعدی در مواد نورشکستی و برهمکنش ناهمدوس میان آنها
Optical spatial screening solitons in photorefractive crystals in a one-dimensional case based on Kukhtarev model is studied. The new numerical scheme according to the Crank-Nicholson method accompanied by the central difference method is introduced to find the bright soliton solution. Simulation of the propagation is performed to show the dynamical evolution of solitons and check their stabi...
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 کاملIncoherent surface solitons in effectively instantaneous nonlocal nonlinear media
We demonstrate experimentally and theoretically random-phase surface solitons in effectively instantaneous nonlinear media. The key mechanism for self-trapping is played by a nonlocal nature of the nonlinearity, in contrast to other incoherent solitons involving time averaging. These incoherent surface solitons display features different from their bulk counterparts and from other surface waves.
متن کاملIncoherent multi-gap optical solitons in nonlinear photonic lattices.
We demonstrate numerically that partially incoherent light can be trapped in the spectral band gaps of a photonic lattice, creating partially incoherent multi-component spatial optical solitons in a self-defocusing nonlinear periodic medium. We find numerically such incoherent multi-gap optical solitons and discuss how to generate them in experiment by interfering incoherent light beams at the ...
