Counterpropagating dipole-mode vector soliton

Pattern Formation and Solitons 2009-11-11 v2

Abstract

We experimentally observe a counterpropagating dipole-mode vector soliton in a photorefractive SBN:60Ce crystal. We investigate the transient formation dynamics and show that the formation process differs significantly from the copropagating geometry. The experimental results are compared with fully anisotropic numerical simulations which show good qualitative agreement.
