Abstract
It has been predicted that quantum fluctuations will lead to the formation of spontaneous solitons in stimulated Raman scattering. We present experimental data in support of this prediction. From an ensemble of 1000 shots we found solitonlike pulses in 101 shots. We have measured the distribution of soliton heights and delay times.Keywords
