Nonlinear pairing of light and dark optical solitons is shown to be possible as a result of phase cross-modulation of the waves in a nonlinear dispersive medium On this basis fundamentally new methods can be developed for a nonlinear stabilization of high-power wave packets in the region of positive and negative dispersion of the group velocities of the interacting waves.
