Instabilities due to Rayleigh wing scattering in a spatial soliton

We have performed spectral observations of soliton beam propagation at the output of a waveguide for different dimensions of the beam width. The results show that the strong spatial and spectral perturbations are due to stimulated Rayleigh wing scattering mainly produced in cascade processes and cha...

Description
Summary:We have performed spectral observations of soliton beam propagation at the output of a waveguide for different dimensions of the beam width. The results show that the strong spatial and spectral perturbations are due to stimulated Rayleigh wing scattering mainly produced in cascade processes and characterized by the presence of Stokes/anti-Stokes couplings.
