Av. Mamaev et al., BREAK-UP OF 2-DIMENSIONAL BRIGHT SPATIAL SOLITONS DUE TO TRANSVERSE MODULATION INSTABILITY, Europhysics letters, 35(1), 1996, pp. 25-30
We present the theory and the experimental observation of break-up of
two-dimensional bright spatial solitons propagating in a three-dimensi
onal bulk photorefractive nonlinear medium due to transverse modulatio
n instability.
