Title

Observation Of Locked Optical Kink-Antikink Spatial Shock Waves

Abstract

We report the first experimental observation of optical spatial shock-wave pairs. The shock waves consist of two coupled kink and antikink beams that remain locked to each other throughout propagation in a nonlinear diffusion-driven photorefractive crystal. These coupled shock-wave pairs move undistorted at angles that fall outside their original angular sector of propagation. © 2003 The American Physical Society.
