Abstract
The recent demonstration of large nonlinear optical phase shifts in quadratic nonlinear materials, and the observation of spatial solitary waves have made possible several new applications such as phase-controlled transistors and solitary wave dragging.1−4 The solitary waves form above a threshold power and are a result of strongly coupled fundamental and second-harmonic waves, which propagate without either diffraction or walk-off.2
