Picozzi A. Randoux S.Nonlinear propagation of incoherent waves in single-mode fibers : experiments and theoryWe present a theoretical and experimental study of the nonlinear propagation of partially incoherent optical waves in single mode optical fibers. We revisit the traditional treatment of the wave turbulence theory to provide a statistical kinetic description of the integrable scalar NLS equation. We theoretically and numerically show the existence of an irreversible evolution toward a statistically stationary state. We report the experimental observation of this peculiar relaxation process of the one dimension NLS equation.
