Giant Goos–Hänchen shifts and radiation-induced trapping of Helmholtz solitons at nonlinear interfaces (2011)
Journal Article
Helmholtz solitons at nonlinear interfaces. Optics Letters, 36(18), 3605-3607. https://doi.org/10.1364/OL.36.003605

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 exhi...
