Abstract

Stable periodic arrays of Kerr soliton stripes are generated within bulk carbon disulfide and propagate through the medium by controlling modulational instability with interferometrically induced Bragg diffraction. Picosecond experiments and nonlinear BPM simulations show the possibility to optically control the parameters of the soliton array and enlighten its propagation features and guiding properties.
