Abstract
We demonstrate experimentally that spatial solitons in AlGaAs waveguides are resilient against spatiallyanisotropic perturbations in their phase caused by introducing a wedge in the soliton propagation path. In agreement with numerical simulations, the solitons maintained their initial beam shape and width, independent of the fraction of the soliton beam intercepted by the wedge.Keywords
