Helmholtz solitons in power - law optical materials
A nonlinear Helmholtz equation for optical materials with regimes of power-law type of nonlinearity is proposed. This model captures broad beam evolution at any angle with respect to the reference direction in a wide range of media, including some semiconductors, doped glasses and liquid crystals. Novel exact analytical soliton solutions are presented for a generic nonlinearity, within which kn...
متن کاملRefraction of power-law spatial solitons – the Helmholtz-Snell law
The behaviour of a scalar optical beam at the boundary between two dissimilar nonlinear media is of fundamental interest in nonlinear photonics. Here, we report the first systematic generalization of our Kerr analyses to a wider class of power-law materials. Universal refraction laws will be given, and theorysimulation agreement demonstrated.
متن کاملOptical solitons with power-law asymptotics.
It is shown that self-guided optical beams with power-law asymptotics, i.e., algebraic optical solitons, can be regarded as a special case of sech-type solitons ~i.e. solitons with exponentially decaying asymptotics! in the limit where the beam propagation constant coincides with the threshold for linear wave propagation. This leads to the conjecture that algebraic optical solitons should be in...
متن کاملHelmholtz bright spatial solitons and surface waves at power-law optical interfaces
We consider arbitrary-angle interactions between spatial solitons and the planar boundary between two optical materials with a single power-law nonlinear refractive index. Extensive analysis has uncovered a wide range of new qualitative phenomena in non-Kerr regimes. A universal Helmholtz-Snell law describing soliton refraction is derived using exact solutions to the governing equation as a non...
متن کاملRefractive Dual Band Infrared Imager Optical Design
Infrared imagers are important for reorganization and monitoring. This paper discusses the design of an infrared imager. Optical design in medium wavelength infrared (MWIR) and long wavelength infrared (LWIR) bands is different and needs distinct detectors and materials. Reflective systems are not suitable due to their small field of view (FOV) and vignetting. Refractive dual band optical syste...
