We demonstrate numerically that the focusing of beams that correspond
to laser modes into a phase-matchable second-order nonlinear optical m
edium can lead to the generation of a rich spectrum of quadratic solit
ons. We also show that the number of solitons generated can be explain
ed by a simple model. (C) 1997 Optical Society of America.
