Abstract EN
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 nonlinear basis.
New predictions are tested through exhaustive computations, which have uncovered substantially enhanced Goos-Hänchen shifts at some non-Kerr interfaces.
Helmholtz nonlinear surface waves are analyzed theoretically, and their stability properties are investigated numerically for the first time.
Interactions between surface waves and obliquely incident solitons are also considered.
Novel solution behaviours have been uncovered, which depend upon a complex interplay between incidence angle, medium mismatch parameters, and the power-law nonlinearity exponent.
