Abstract
We investigate the properties of the families of spatial walking solit ons propagating in planar waveguides made of quadratic nonlinear media under conditions for second-harmonic generation in the presence of Po ynting rector walk-off. We study in detail the shape and various featu res of the solitons, their stability on propagation, and their excitat ion. (C) 1998 Optical Society of America [S0740-3224(98)00904-7].
