Soliton interaction in quadratic and cubic bulk media
Summary form only given. The understanding of how and to what extend the cubic nonlinearity affects beam propagation and spatial soliton formation in quadratic media is of vital importance in fundamental and applied nonlinear physics. We consider beam propagation under type-I SHG conditions in lossless bulk second order nonlinear optical materials with a nonvanishing third order nonlinearity.
It is known that in pure second order systems a single soliton can never collapse whereas in systems with both nonlinearities and that stable single soliton propagation can only in some circumstances be achieved.
