In optics, the term soliton is used to refer to any optical field that does not change during propagation because of a delicate balance between nonlinear and linear effects in the medium. There are two main kinds of solitons:
Un soliton optique est une impulsion électromagnétique se propageant sans déformation. Par sa nature même, elle est solution stable de l' dans le milieu qu'elle traverse (typiquement une fibre optique). (fr)
