Solitons in non-paraxial optics
  The well-known (1+1D) nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (NSE) governs the propagation of narrow-band pulses in optical fibers and others one-dimensional structures. For exploration the evolution of broad-band optical pulses (femtosecond and attosecond) it is necessary to use the more general nonlinear amplitude equation (GNAE) which differs from NSE with two additional non-paraxial terms. That is way, it is important to make clear the difference between the solutions of these two equations. We found a new analytical soliton solution of GNAE and compare it with the well-known NSE one. It is shown that for the fundamental soliton the main difference between the two solutions is in their phases. It appears that, this changes significantly the evolution of optical pulses in multisoliton regime of propagation and admits a behavior different from that of the higher-order NSE solitons.
