Anisotropic enhancement of discrete diffraction and formation of two-dimensional discrete-soliton trains.
We demonstrate anisotropic enhancement of discrete diffraction and formation of discrete-soliton trains in an optically induced photonic lattice. Such discrete behavior of light propagation was observed when a one-dimensional stripe beam was launched appropriately into a two-dimensional lattice created with partially coherent light. Our experimental results are corroborated with numerical simulations.
