Abstract:
Recent papers claim to have observed spatial solitons in planar waveguides where confinement is provided in one transverse y dimension by a linear refractive-index difference and in the orthogonal x dimension by self-trapping due to an intensity-dependent refractive-index variation. If these experiments really do allow nonlinear effects to be observed independently in the x dimension, then the transverse field should take a separable form as used implicitly. We explore the nature and accuracy of this assumption beginning with the stable, isolated soliton and returning at the end to the general propagation problem.
