摘要:
We present the first experimental demonstration of spatial instability in the nonlinear evolution of the state of polarization of an intense light beam in a birefringent Kerr‐like medium. As the peak power crosses the threshold for the instability, we observed strong intensity‐dependent power transfer between the two counter‐rotating circularly polarized waves propagating along a birefringent optical fiber. The experimental results agree well with the theory.
