Abstract
The propagation of solitary pulses in media with a nonlinear dynamical response is analyzed. It is demonstrated that a soliton experiences a continuous frequency downshift and subsequent deacceleration. This is associated with a slow emission of electromagnetic quanta ahead of th e soliton giving rise to delocalization and damping of the pulse. The radiative damping process is particularly pronounced in media with a s trong relaxation response.
