The basic idea is to impose sinusoidal phase modulation to an optical beam and then make it propagate in a strongly nonlocal nonlinear medium with normalized symmetrical real spatial response.The spatial phase modulation splits the input beam into multiple sub-beams, while the nonlocal nonlinear medium shapes the sub-beams into spatial solitons, whose directions and power can be controlled by changing the modulation parameters/We present numerical results to show how the deflection and the detachment of beams are achieved.
