Abstract
This paper presents an overview of a new interpretation of nonlinear solitary waves based on the momentum space, or k-space, which allows non-paraxial effects to be readily included, and reduces to NLS under certain circumstances. In this interpretation, solitary waves are described by the absence of curvature of the nonlinear k-space.
