Abstract
We show that in phase-mismatched second-harmonic generation, an effective group- velocity dispersion is induced at the second-harmonic frequency. In quasi-phase-matched structures this allows for temporal soliton formation and therefore facilitates the formation of 3-D spatiotemporal solitons.
