• shock waves of the envelope
• high-power laser pulses
• self-steepening
• photonic crystal waveguides

We study the dynamics of a high-energy laser pulse in dispersive optical media with large values of self-steepening. We consider the formation of soliton-like peaks at the front of the envelope in such media with anomalous dispersion. We show the possibility of realisation of a medium based on a photonic crystal waveguide with a very large absolute value of the self-steepening parameter in a certain frequency range.
