Giant Goos-Hänchen shifts and radiation-induced trapping of Helmholtz solitons at nonlinear interfaces.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Giant Goos-Hänchen shifts and radiation-induced trapping are studied at the planar boundary separating two focusing Kerr media within the framework of the Helmholtz theory. The analysis, valid for all angles of incidence, reveals that interfaces exhibiting linear external refraction can also accommodate both phenomena. Numerical evidence of these effects is provided, based on analytical predictions derived from a generalized Snell's law.

Widely varying giant Goos-Hänchen shifts from Airy beams at nonlinear interfaces.
We present a numerical study of the giant Goos-Hänchen shifts (GHSs) obtained from an Airy beam impinging on a nonlinear interface. To avoid any angular restriction associated with the paraxial approximation, the analysis is based on the nonlinear Helmholtz equation. We report the existence of nonstandard nonlinear GHSs displaying an extreme sensitivity to the input intensity and the existence ...
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 کاملNonlinear Helmholtz wave refraction & Goos-Hänchen shifts in nonparaxial optics: angles and interfaces, solitons and Snell’s law
The interaction of self-localized waves with an abrupt interface is a problem of fundamental importance in many branches of physics, engineering, and applied mathematics. Waveguide optics, for instance, is dominated in an essential way by such considerations. There, the full complexity of electromagnetic propagation is conveniently reduced to an equation of the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) class...
متن کاملGoos-Hänchen and Imbert-Fedorov shifts for Gaussian beams impinging on graphene-coated surfaces.
We present a theoretical study of the Goos-Hänchen and Imbert-Fedorov shifts for a fundamental Gaussian beam impinging on a surface coated with a single layer of graphene. We show that the graphene surface conductivity σ(ω) is responsible for the appearance of a giant and negative spatial Goos-Hänchen shift.
متن کاملEigenpolarizations for giant transverse optical beam shifts.
We show how careful control of the incident polarization of a light beam close to the Brewster angle gives a giant transverse spatial shift on reflection. This resolves the long-standing puzzle of why such beam shifts transverse to the incident plane (Imbert-Fedorov shifts) tend to be an order of magnitude smaller than the related Goos-Hänchen shifts in the longitudinal direction, which are lar...
