Abstract
The soliton solution in a Kerr defocusing medium is obtained. This solution is essentially a dip in a uniform plane wave and is thus called a dark soliton. This solution is then used to supply a qualitative explanation of the optical branching effect, which has been observed recently in a photorefractive slab waveguide.
