Velocity locking of incoherent nonlinear wave-packets

We present both theoretically and experimentally in an optical-fiber system a novel phenomenon of velocity-locking of incoherent nonlinear waves. This intriguing process is explained by simple thermodynamic arguments based on the weak turbulence theory.
