Integrability and Conservation Laws for the Nonlinear Evolution Equations of Partially Coherent Waves in Noninstantaneous Kerr Media

• It is shown that the evolution equations describing partially coherent wave propagation in noninstantaneous Kerr media are integrable and have an infinite number of invariants. A recursion relation for generating these invariants is presented, and it is demonstrated how to express them in the coherent density, self-consistent multimode, mutual coherence, and Wigner formalisms.
