The classic examples of optical phenomena resulting in the appearance of solitons are self-focusing, self-induced transparency,and parametric three-wave interaction. To date, the list of the fields of nonlinear optics and models where solitons play an important role has significantly expanded. Now long-lived or stable solitary waves are called solitons, including, for example, dissipative, gap, parametric, and topological solitons. This review considers nonlinear optics models giving rise to the appearance of solitons in a narrow sense:solitary waves corresponding to the solutions of completely integrable systems of equations basic for the models being discussed.
