Abstract

Spatial optical solitons are self-trapped optical beams that propagate without changing their spatial shape. This behaviour is caused by the competing effects of diffraction and selfocusing in a non-linear medium. Zakharov and Shaba(1) explained the connection between self-trapping and soliton theory. They also showed the complete analogy between temporal solitons, in wich the nonlinear phase modulation balances dispersion and spatial solitons in wich the non-linear index profile balances diffraction.
