Abstract
Self-trapped optical solitons were proposed in the early days of nonlinear optics, and their demonstration based on the third-order nonlinearity has been reported in Both the temporal and spatial regimes.1-3 Recently it has been predicted that a cascaded second-order nonlinearity can produce effects similar to those of third-order nonlinearities with nonlinear phase shifts that are higher by orders of magnitude.
