Abstract
We show analytically and numerically that, under certain conditions, cohere nt localized structures can be generated and sustained from an incoherent s ource in quadratic nonlinear media. This phenomenon, which relies on the co nvection between the waves interacting in the medium, leads to the formatio n of a novel type of three-wave parametric soliton composed of both coheren t and incoherent fields.
