Refraction of power-law spatial solitons – the Helmholtz-Snell law

Abstract

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 theory simulation agreement demonstrated.
