Abstract

Shock waves have been extensively investigated in diverse areas of physics.1 However, their occurrence in optics is rather rare (see for example refs. 2-5) and thus far no such optical structures have been experimentally observed. In this paper we report a new family of kink-antikink shock waves that is possible in unbiased photorefactive media via the two wave mixing process.
