Cascaded second-order surface plasmon solitons due to intrinsic metal nonlinearity

We theoretically show the existence of cascaded second-order surface plasmon solitons propagating at the interface between a metal and a linear dielectric. Non-local multipole nonlinearities originating from the free conduction electron plasma of the metal lead to strong interaction between co-propa...
