Symmetry-breaking instability of multimode vector solitons in Kerr media

Abstract

We show experimentally that the two-component two-hump vector soliton exhibits a sharp left-right symmetry-breaking instability in Kerr media. The experiment is performed using molecular re-orientation in CS2 and the opposite circular polarization states of light as the two components of the vector soliton.
