Short intense laser radiation is capable of generating electromagnetic solitary structures close to the pulse depletion length. Their number and localization in the plasma depends on the particular choice of the plasma pulse parameters. Numerical results on soliton generation in two and three spatial dimensions for a number of different parameters are presented. Proton images of the post-soliton structures are calculated and compared with recent experiments.
