Abstract
Solitons can be bright or dark1 temporal or spatial. Until now, several possibilities have been observed (for a review see Ref.2). Bi-dimensional dark3,4 and bright5 spatial solitonic waves have also been reported. Here we present the first observation, to our knowledge, of a spatio- temporal soliton-like wave in a Kerr medium.
