Nonparaxial spatial solitons and propagation-invariant pattern solutions in optical Kerr media

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We investigate nonlinear propagation in the presence of the optical Kerr effect by relying on a rigorous generalization of the standard parabolic equation that includes nonparaxial and vectorial terms. We show that, in the 1+1D case, both soliton and propagation-invariant pattern solutions exist (while the standard hyperbolic-secant function is not a solution).
