Abstract
An ''optical meson'' (two-photon quantum soliton) is proven to exist in a parametric waveguide. This could provide an ideal quantum soliton environment, because of more realistic formation lengths and much larger binding energies than chi((3)) quantum solitons. We estimate the binding energy, radius, and interaction length in comparison to the chi((3)) case in optical fibers.This publication has 26 references indexed in Scilit:
