Abstract

Recent experiments¹ show evidence of spatial solitons within waveguides that exhibit a Kerr nonlinearity. An all-optical switch based on this effect has been proposed previously² and modeled numerically in one transverse dimension (1D). We now investigate the two-dimensional (2D) case, using a saturable nonlinearity to avoid critical self-focusing of the beam.
