In particular, we describe multi-channel solitary waves in bit-parallel-wavelength fiber transmission systems for high-performance computer networks, multi-color parametric spatial solitary waves due to cascaded nonlinearities of quadratic materials, and quasiperiodic envelope solitons due to quasi-phase-matching in Fibonacci optical superlattices." }
