Abstract
We study the interaction of an optical vortex soliton with a dark-soliton s tripe in a bulk nonlinear defocusing medium. We develop a multiscale asympt otic theory to predict the main effect of the interaction and then study it experimentally, observing vortex-induced stripe bending, development of th e transverse instability, and stripe breakup.
