Abstract
One of the most noted discoveries of modern soliton science is that solitons can be excited by an incandescent light bulb instead of a high power laser source [1]. This produces "incoherent solitons" [1–3]; they can exist in photorefractive materials which require amazingly low powers to observe highly nonlinear phenomena [4–6].
