Abstract
We introduce the concept of two-color multistep cascading for vectorial par ametric wave mixing in optical media with quadratic (second-order or chi((2 ))) nonlinear response. We demonstrate that the multistep cascading allows light-guiding-light effects with quadratic spatial solitons. With the help of the so-called ''almost exact'' analytical solutions, we describe the pro perties of parametric waveguides created by two-wave quadratic solitons. [S 1063-651X(99)50511-4].
