Conclusions: • Phase solitons exist in 4-wave-mixing resonators • Bright solitons exist in laser resonators with nonlinear absorber (competition in velocity space or coexistence of several solitons) • Applications possible for optical information processing (see paper by Larionova: Spatial Solitons in Semiconductor Microcavities)
