Abstract
The effect of phase-matched third-harmonic generation on the structure and stability of spatial solitary waves is investigated. A power thre shold for the existence of two-frequency spatial solitons is found, an d the multistability of solitary waves in a Kerr medium owing to a hig her-order nonlinear phase shift caused by cascaded third-order process es is revealed.
