Published: October 2003

We report the existence and basic properties of dark snoidal-type waves self-sustained in quadratic nonlinear media. Using a stability analysis technique, we reveal that they are almost completely stable, or metastable, in suitable ranges of input energy flows and material parameters. This opens the way to the experimental observation of dark-type multicolor periodic wave patterns supported by quadratic nonlinearities.
