Propagation and stability of two-colour spatial optical solitons (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Bostock, C., Christian, J., & McDonald, G. (2011, June). Propagation and stability of two-colour spatial optical solitons. Presented at College Research Showcase Day, University of Salford, Greater Manchester, UK

Two-colour spatial solitons comprise coupled nonlinear optical beams at two distinct temporal frequencies [1]. The components (which may be bright-like and/or dark-like) are localized in space and tend to overlap, thereby allowing the interplay betw...

Relativistic & pseudo-relativistic connections in optical pulse propagation (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Christian, J., McDonald, G., Lundie, M., & Lancaster, G. (2011, June). Relativistic & pseudo-relativistic connections in optical pulse propagation. Poster presented at College Research Showcase Day, University of Salford, Greater Manchester, UK

We explore a more complete model for describing the evolution of scalar optical pulses in generic nonlinear waveguides. The electromagnetic wave envelope satisfies a dimensionless equation that is of the Helmholtz type. Our approach is to retain the...
