Abstract

The behaviour of light beams in nonlinear media (self-focussing of optical beams as well as self-modulation and transmission of optical pulses) is considered in the case when the nonlinear polarization contains susceptibilities of third- and fifth-order. The soliton solutions are obtained for the nonlinear equations deduced.
