Abstract
We introduce the concept of two-color multistep cascading for vectorial parametric wave mixing in optical media with quadratic (second-order or [Formula Presented] 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 properties of parametric waveguides created by two-wave quadratic solitons.
