Abstract

Solitary waves (solitons), which frequently occur in nature, exhibit a truly stable form of wave propagation. In a nonlinear material, optical beams that propagate with no temporal dispersion (temporal solitons) or spatial diffraction (spatial solitons) have been experimentally demonstrated recently.1,2 In complete analogy to temporal solitons, spatial solitons can propagate long distances in a planar waveguide without any diffraction.
