We present numerical and experimental results demonstrating the slow light process induced by the sharp resonance of the Raman gain medium during the propagation of a spatial Raman soliton in a Kerr planar waveguide.

We found conditions for excitation of bright-bright 2pi solitons in stimulated Raman scattering that involves nutation of population at Raman quantum levels, for two (laser-Stokes) and three (e.g., laser-Stokes-anti-Stokes) components. The soliton components at all participating frequencies are bright solitons of the same, Lorentzian, shape, in contrast to the well-known bright-dark soliton combination in stimulated Raman scattering.
