Generation of Optical Spatiotemporal Solitons
Abstract
We report the experimental formation of optical spatiotemporal solitons. Intense femtosecond-duration pulses experience a saturable self-focusing nonlinearity due to the cascading of quadratic nonlinear processes. Strong coupling of the interacting fundamental and harmonic waves produces solitons that overcome diffraction in one spatial dimension as well as group-velocity dispersion to reach constant beam size and pulse duration, both compressed with respect to the input values. Spatiotemporal solitons are observed both with nearly zero and with large group-velocity mismatch between fundamental and harmonic pulses.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
