Abstract:
We observe experimentally a novel spatiotemporal dynamics of multimode fibers allowing for a new type of parametric instability and an original phenomenon of light self-organisation. Our experiments agree well with theoretical predictions and numerical simulations based on the Gross-Pitaevskii equation.
