Abstract

In the context of nonlinear optics, solitons are classified as being either temporal or spatial, depending on whether the confinement of light occurs in time or space during wave propagation. Temporal soli-tons represent optical pulses that maintain their shape, whereas spatial solitons represent self-guided beams that remain confined in the transverse directions orthogonal to the direction of propagation. The proposal of this work is analysis the energy density of both solutions of nonlinear Schroendinger equation(NLS), spatial and temporal solutions and show that in some cases the correspondent energy for that solutions is proportional to the squareof the solutions.
