Abstract
We describe a principle that can be used to generate self-similarity and fr actals in almost any nonlinear system in nature that supports solitons, giv en that some proper nonadiabatic conditions are met. We illustrate our idea on a particular optics example that also theoretically demonstrates fracta ls in nonlinear optics.
