Abstract

It is shown that permanent, solitonlike structures in which the pump retains a large fraction of its initial energy cannot exist for finite energy pulses. Ultimately, solitonlike structures propagate to the back end of the pulse and disappear. A method for propagating pump energy over long distances is proposed.
