N2 - We demonstrate, theoretically and experimentally, an all-optical Rayleigh-Taylor instability. Observations of the characteristic spatial period as a function of intensity difference, nonlinearity, and refractive index gradient show excellent agreement with analytical calculations from perturbation theory.
