Abstract

We investigate both analytically and numerically the self-bending behavior of partially coherent beams and solitons in biased and unbiased photorefractive crystals. We show that in the linear diffraction regime, the self-bending angle decreases with increasing the degree of incoherence. This is in contrast with the case of partially coherent soliton beams.
