26 Recipe For Plane Wave Instability & Solitons 1. Find plane wave stationary solutions, i.e. solve nonlinear wave equations in absence of diffraction.. Add to plane wave solution: noise with spatial Fourier component κ, amplitude δ<<1 and gain coefficient γ 3. Solve for intensity regimes with γ real and >. If they exist, plane wave solutions are unstable over those parameter ranges. 4. If plane wave solutions are unstable at high intensity, nonlinear eigenmodes are solitons

41 Summary 1. Spatial solitons are a very rich and diverse field. Spatial solitons have been studied in homogeneous and discrete systems, in waveguides and bulk media 3. Many nonlinear mechanisms can be used for solitons 4., 1 and parameter families of solitons demonstrated 5. Most solitons require temporal pulses to reach soliton threshold 6. Many spurious factors complicate understanding results 7. Dissipative solitons exist at 1 s mws power with nanosecond response many applications (not discussed) 8. Interactions are a very rich field with novel applications
