Abstract (EN): In this work we use the concept of paraxial fluids of light to explore quantum turbulence, probing a turbulent regime induced on an optical beam propagating inside a defocusing nonlinear media. For that purpose, we establish a physical analogue of a two-component quantum fluid by making use of orthogonal polarizations and incoherent beam interaction, obtaining a system for which the perturbative excitations follow a modified Bogoliubov-like dispersion relation. This dispersion relation features regions of instability that define an effective range of energy injection and that are easily tuned by manipulating the relative angle of incidence between the two components. Our numerical results support the predictions and show evidence of direct and inverse turbulent cascades expected from weak wave turbulence theories, which may inspire new ways to explore to quantum turbulence with optical analogues.
