Incoherent Solitons
One of the main features of optical solitons discussed so far is their coherent nature.
Indeed, the amplitude, phase, and frequency associated with an optical soliton are well-
behaved deterministic quantities. However, starting in 1996 the soliton concept could
be extended to cover a more general class of self-trapped beams that are partially coher-
ent or even totally incoherent. Such spatial solitons are called
incoherent solitons,
and
they are found to exhibit some unique features that have no counterparts in the coher-
ent regime. In this chapter, we focus on incoherent solitons and discuss how they are ...
