Bright spatial solitons in defocusing Kerr media supported by cascaded nonlinearities

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We show that resonant wave mixing that is due to quadratic nonlinearity can support stable bright spatial solitons, even in the most counterintuitive case of a bulk medium with defocusing Kerr nonlinearity. We analyze the structure and stability of such self-guided beams and demonstrate that they can be generated from a Gaussian input beam, provided that its power is above a certain threshold.
