Abstract
We report what is believed to be the first experimental demonstration of so liton content as a function of the intensity of input light for multicolor quadratic solitons. Experiments were conducted with spatial solitons excite d with Gaussian beams in a bulk crystal cut for second-harmonic generation. The effects introduced by the finite crystal length and by the scheme empl oyed to elucidate the soliton energy are highlighted. (C) 2001 Optical Soci ety of America.
