Abstract

The propagation of spatial solitons through a linear wedge that introduced a spatially anisotropic linear phase chirp across the soliton beam in an AlGaAs planar waveguide was investigated. The experiment was performed with an additive pulse modelocked NaCl:OH color center laser operating at a wavelength of 1550 nm with 700 fs pulses at 76 MHz. The solitons are resilient against spatially anisotropic phase perturbations, maintaining their shape and deflecting through an angle determined by the space-averaged phase chirp introduced across the wavefront.
