Incoherent Shock and Collapse Singularities in Non-Instantaneous Nonlinear Media

Incoherent Shock and Collapse Singularities in Non-Instantaneous Nonlinear Media

We study the dynamics of a partially incoherent optical pulse that propagates in a slowly responding nonlinear Kerr medium. We show that irrespective of the sign of the dispersion (either normal or anomalous), the incoherent pulse as a whole exhibits a global collective behavior characterized by a d...
