  • Abstract
    The paper reports on the generation of spatial solitons with carbon disulfide (CS2) as the nonlinear material, which has a critical power of 190 kW for the laser wavelength of 800 nm. A 150-femtosecond pulse with a maximum energy of 1 mJ is also used. Each pulse from the laser is split into pump and probe pulses. The pump pulse is focused into a line (using a cylindrical lens) at the entrance face of a 10 mm glass cell filled with CS2
