Theory of Incoherent Dark Solitons
نویسندگان
چکیده
We formulate the theory of incoherent dark spatial solitons in noninstantaneous self-defocusing nonlinear media. We find that the basic modal constituents of these incoherent dark soliton entities are radiation modes as well as bound states. Our results explain for the first time why incoherent dark solitons are in fact gray and why a transverse p-phase flip can facilitate their observation. [S0031-9007 (98)06257-7]

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 کاملFormation of random dark envelope solitons from incoherent waves.
This Letter reports experimental results on random temporal dark solitons. One excites an incoherent large-amplitude propagating spin-wave packet in a ferromagnetic film strip with a repulsive, instantaneous nonlinearity. One then observes the random formation of dark solitons from this wave packet. The solitons appear randomly in time and in position relative to the entire wave packet. They ca...
متن کاملWaveguides and waveguide arrays formed by incoherent light in photorefractive materials
We report on experimental observations of nonlinear optical waveguides and waveguide arrays formed by incoherent light in photorefractive materials. Such waveguides are made possible by creating partially spatially incoherent solitons in a noninstantaneous self-focusing photorefractive medium. In addition to planar, Y-junction, and circular waveguides, we report the first demonstration of pixel...
متن کاملSuppression of transverse instabilities for vector solitons.
We analyze the transverse instability of two-component spatial solitons in a saturable nonlinear medium, in relation to recent experimental observations of spatial vector solitons in photorefractive media. We present the stability analysis for all three realizations: dark-bright, bright-bright, and dark-dark soliton pairs, and demonstrate that both the nonlinearity saturation and incoherent mod...
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...
