摘要：

We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that spatiotemporal solitons can be generated through noncollinear second-harmonic generation. The resulting Y geometry could be used to implement an optical AND gate with ultrafast, high-contrast operation but without sensitivity to the phases of the input pulses.
