Spatial solitons in a semiconductor microresonator

We show experimentally the existence of bright and dark spatial solitons in a passive quantum-well-semi-conductor resonator of large Fresnel number with mixed absorptive defocusing nonlinearity. Several of the solitons can exist simultaneously as required for applications.
