Spin-orbit-coupled fluids of light in bulk nonlinear media
Giovanni I. Martone, Tom Bienaimé, Nicolas Cherroret
We show that nonparaxial polarized light beams propagating in a bulk nonlinear Kerr medium naturally exhibit a coupling between the motional and the polarization degrees of freedom…
Dissipation-enhanced collapse singularity of a nonlocal fluid of light in a hot atomic vapor
Pierre Azam, Adrien Fusaro, Quentin Fontaine +6
We study the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of a two-dimensional paraxial fluid of light using a near-resonant laser propagating through a hot atomic vapor. We observe a double shock-…
Quantitative Analysis of Shock Wave Dynamics in a Fluid of Light
T. Bienaimé, M. Isoard, Q. Fontaine +4
We report on the formation of a dispersive shock wave in a nonlinear optical medium. We monitor the evolution of the shock by tuning the incoming beam power. The experimental obser…
