Non-paraxial solitons
Chamorro-Posada, P; Mcdonald, GS; New, GHC
Abstract
In this paper, we propose the use of ultranarrow soliton beams in miniaturized nonlinear optical devices. We derive a nonparaxial nonlinear Schrödinger equation and show that it has an exact non-paraxial soliton solution from which the paraxial soliton is recovered in the appropriate limit. The physical and mathematical geometry of the non-paraxial soliton is explored through the consideration of dispersion relations, rotational transformations and approximate solutions. We highlight some of the unphysical aspects of the paraxial limit and report modifications to the soliton width, the soliton area and the soliton (phase) period which result from the breakdown of the slowly varying envelope approximation.
