Abstract
We analyze - and -dimensional self-guided beams (spatial solitons) due to three-wave parametric mixing (or type II second-harmonic generation) in diffractive optical materials with nonlinearity. We also discuss the optimal conditions for observing self-trapping in different experimental geometries.
