Coherence enhancement of spatially incoherent light beams through soliton interactions

TH Coskun, AG Grandpierre, DN Christodoulides… - Optics Letters, 2000 - opg.optica.org
We show that the spatial coherence of a partially incoherent light beam can be greatly
enhanced through an energy-conserving interaction with an incoherent or a coherent dark …

Coherence controlled soliton interactions

TS Ku, MF Shih, AA Sukhorukov, YS Kivshar - Physical review letters, 2005 - APS
We demonstrate theoretically and subsequently observe in experiment a novel type of
soliton interaction when a pair of closely spaced spatial optical solitons as a whole is made …

White-light solitons

H Buljan, M Segev, M Soljačić, NK Efremidis… - Optics letters, 2003 - opg.optica.org
Optical spatial solitons made from incoherent white light were experimentally observed in
1997 by Mitchell and Segev [Nature (London) 387, 880 (1997)]. We present what is believed …

Spatial soliton pixels from partially incoherent light

Z Chen, K McCarthy - Optics letters, 2002 - opg.optica.org
We report what is to our knowledge the first observation of pixellike spatial solitons from
partially spatially incoherent light. We created an array of as many as 32× 32 soliton pixels …

Waveguides formed by incoherent dark solitons

Z Chen, M Segev, DN Christodoulides, RS Feigelson - Optics letters, 1999 - opg.optica.org
We demonstrate experimentally optical guidance of coherent light beams, using incoherent
light. Such guidance is made possible by generation of partially spatially incoherent self …

Dynamic soliton-like modes

MF Shih, FW Sheu - Physical Review Letters, 2001 - APS
Incoherent optical spatial solitons require noninstantaneous nonlinearity, ie, the local
intensity fluctuation of the solitons must be faster than the medium can respond. Observing …

Collisions between optical spatial solitons propagating in opposite directions

O Cohen, R Uzdin, T Carmon, JW Fleischer, M Segev… - Physical review …, 2002 - APS
We formulate the theory describing the evolution and interactions between optical spatial
solitons that propagate in opposite directions. We show that coherent collisions between …

Spatial correlation properties of focused partially coherent light

DG Fischer, TD Visser - JOSA A, 2004 - opg.optica.org
We investigate the spatial coherence properties in the focal region of a converging, spatially
partially coherent wave field. In particular, we find that, depending on the effective …

Incoherent spatial solitons in effectively instantaneous nonlinear media

C Rotschild, T Schwartz, O Cohen, M Segev - Nature Photonics, 2008 - nature.com
Incoherent optical spatial solitons are self-trapped beams with a multimodal structure that
varies randomly in time. They form when their diffraction-broadening, which is governed by …
