Abstract
We present a general theory of partially coherent optical solitons in slow-responding nonlinear media that takes into account intensity fluctuations of the light sources generating such solitons. If intensity fluctuations of the source are negligible, the theory reduces to the previously reported mean-field theory of partially coherent solitons. However, when such fluctuations are significant, our theory shows that the properties of partially coherent solitons in saturable nonlinear media can be qualitatively different from those predicted by the mean-field theory.
