Incoherently coupled dark-bright photorefractive solitons

Opt Lett. 1996 Nov 15;21(22):1821-3. doi: 10.1364/ol.21.001821.

Abstract

We report the observation of incoherently coupled dark-bright spatial soliton pairs in a biased bulk photorefractive crystal. When such a pair is decoupled, the dark component evolves into a triplet structure, whereas the bright one decays into a self-defocusing beam.
