Abstract
New types of ''bright,'' ''dark,'' ''grey,'' and multicomponent photor eactive spatial solitons have been found. The paths of their propagati on (self-bending) and specific spatial scales of light field distribut ion (fanning), resulting from self-action, have been calculated. A pos sibility of a new nonlinear-optical effect-the formation of spatial sh ock wave-has been shown. All the analytical results have been confirme d by computer simulation.
