Abstract

We experimentally and numerically explore the role of dimensionality in multiple (three or more) soliton fusion supported by nonreciprocal energy exchange. Three-soliton fusion into an intense wave is found when an extra dimension, with no broken inversion symmetry, is involved. The phenomenon is observed for 2 + 1D spatial waves in photorefractive crystals, where solitons are supported by a spatially local saturated Kerr-like self-focusing and fusion is driven by the leading nonlocal correction, the spatial analog of the nonlinear Raman effect.
