摘要

We have produced beams with dark rings and studied their propagation through photovoltaic photorefractive media. We observe that dark rings, instead of forming dark ring solitons, break into vortex-antivortex pairs, forming quadrupoles. The experimental results could be taken as a consequence of modulational instability during beam propagation that is revealed through our numerical analysis.
