Helmholtz bright spatial solitons and surface waves at power-law optical interfaces (2012)
Journal Article
Christian, J., McCoy, E., McDonald, G., Sanchez-Curto, J., & Chamorro-Posada, P. (2012). Helmholtz bright spatial solitons and surface waves at power-law optical interfaces. Journal of Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics, 2012, 137967. https://doi.org/10.1155/2012/137967

We consider arbitrary-angle interactions between spatial solitons and the planar boundary between two optical materials with a single power-law nonlinear refractive index. Extensive analysis has uncovered a wide range of new qualitative phenomena in... Read More about Helmholtz bright spatial solitons and surface waves at power-law optical interfaces.

A modified Duckworth–Lewis method for adjusting targets in interrupted limited overs cricket (2012)
Journal Article
