Propagation properties of nonparaxial spatial solitons (2000)
Journal Article
Chamorro-Posada, P., Mcdonald, G., & New, G. (2000). Propagation properties of nonparaxial spatial solitons. Journal of Modern Optics, 47(11), 1877-1886. https://doi.org/10.1080/09500340008232440

We present an analysis and simulation of the non-paraxial nonlinear Schroedinger equation. Exact general relations describing energy flow conservation and transformation invariance are reported, and then explained on physical grounds. New instabiliti...
