contents We experimentally realize the Peregrine soliton in a highly particle-imbalanced two-component repulsive Bose-Einstein condensate in the immiscible regime. The effective focusing dynamics and resulting modulational instability of the minority component provide the opportunity to dynamically create a Peregrine soliton with the aid of an attractive potential well that seeds the initial dynamics. The Peregrine soliton formation is highly reproducible, and our experiments allow us to separately monitor the minority and majority components, and to compare with the single component dynamics in the absence or presence of the well with varying depths. We showcase the centrality of each of the ingredients leveraged herein. Numerical corroborations and a theoretical basis for our findings are provided through three-dimensional simulations emulating the experimental setting and via a one-dimensional analysis further exploring its evolution dynamics.
