Abstract

An intrafield symbiotic form of a bright soliton and a kink soliton (a symbion) is found in the framework of the Hartree approximation for a generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation that includes the effects of intrapulse stimulated Raman scattering and self-steepening. Algebraically the symbion can be expressed as the product of the two fields; its eigenvalue and stationary-field distribution are determined analytically in a self-consistent fashion.
