Abstract
We demonstrate experimentally that spatial solitons in AlGaAs waveguid es are resilient against spatially anisotropic perturbations in their phase caused by introducing a wedge in the soliton propagation path. I n agreement with numerical simulations, the solitons maintained their initial beam shape and width, independent of the fraction of the solit on beam intercepted by the wedge.
