Spatial optical solitons are self-localizing and self-stabilizing beams of light that propagate with a stationary (invariant) intensity profile. Such nonlinear wave states may arise when a beam's natural tendency to diffract is exactly compensated by... Read More about Helmholtz spatial solitons: towards a theory of ultranarrow optical beams.
