A general three-dimensional wave equation first order in the propagation coordinate is derived covering a broad range of phenomena in nonlinear optics. This equation provides an accurate description of the evolution of the wave packet envelope down to pulse durations as short as one carrier oscillation cycle. The concept of envelope equations is found to be applicable to the single-cycle regime of nonlinear optics. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
