Abstract :
We demonstrate incoherent spatial solitons in effectively instantaneous nonlocal nonlinear-media. This new kind of ¿ensemble-averaged solitons¿ has profound new features (e.g., random soliton¿s deflection) making it different than all previously observed coherent and incoherent solitons.
