Abstract

We show that a certain class of spatially partially coherent solitons, namely, twisted Gaussian Schell-model solitons, exists in a logarithmically saturable nonlinear medium with a noninstantaneous temporal response. Unlike previously reported Gaussian Schell-model solitons, those discussed here carry a position-dependent twist phase, which vanishes in the fully coherent limit. We demonstrate that the presence of the twist phase provides an opportunity for controlling the degree of spatial coherence of such solitons without affecting their intensity.
