Abstract
Summary form only given. We show that noninstantaneous, logarithmically saturable nonlinear media support another important class of solitons, namely twisted Gaussian Shell-model solitons. We apply second-order coherence theory in the space-time representation together with a self-consistent multimode approach to obtain a closed-form analytical expression for the cross-correlation function of such solitons.
