Popis: We continue a study of the equivalence particle principle applied to an optical spatial soliton which is a "narrow filament" that maintains its existence in a waveguide. Using this principle, expressions for acceleration, spatial frequency, spatial period and other variables for a spatial soliton can be derived from the solution of basic Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation. These results agree well with numerical simulations of the Modified Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation. If the expression of the acceleration is bounded in some cases this means the spatial soliton propagates with a swing effect. We go one step further in this theoretical study to investigate the effects of the swing effect with power law included in the Modified Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation.
