Interaction between vector solitons and solitonic gluons

Abstract

The first experimental observation of interaction between vector solitons and the bound states formed due to solitonic gluons is reported. To generate multi-component vector solitons, mutual incoherence in interacting beams was introduced in lieu of employing different frequencies or polarizations. Mutually incoherent beams could be used to form a vector soliton in non-instantaneous nonlinear media. Show more
