Observation of incoherently coupled dark-bright vector solitons in single-mode fibers.

We report experimental observation of incoherently coupled dark-bright vector solitons in single-mode fibers. Properties of the vector solitons accord well with those predicted by the respective systems of incoherently coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations. To our knowledge, this is the first experimental observation of temporal incoherently coupled dark-bright solitons in single-mode fibers.
