1. We use the term "soliton" in conjunction with non-diffracting self-trapped optical beams; i.e., we use the broader definition of solitons that includes solitons in nonintegrable systems, as defined by V. E. Zakharov and B. A. Malomed, in Physical Encyclopedia, A. M. Prokhorov, ed, (Great Russian Encyclopedia, Moscow, 1994), p. 571.
