Presentation / Conference
Aspin, R., Smith, M., Hutchinson, C., & Funk, L. MediVol: An initial study into real-time interactive 3D visualisation of soft tissue pathologies. Presented at 12th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Distributed Simulation and Real-Time Applications, Vancouver, BC

None-invasive scanning technologies, such as MRI, have greatly enhanced our ability to ‘image’ the internal body, however the resultant visualisation is often difficult to comprehend due to both inadequacies in the scanning process and sub-optimal ap...

Spatial soliton refraction at cubic-quintic material interfaces
Presentation / Conference
McCoy, E., Christian, J., & McDonald, G. Spatial soliton refraction at cubic-quintic material interfaces. Poster presented at Salford Postgraduate Annual Research Conference (SPARC 11), University of Salford, Greater Manchester, UK

In their most general form, wave–interface problems are inherently angular in nature. For instance, the interaction between light waves and material boundaries essentially defines the entire field of optics [1]. The seminal works of Aceves et al. [2,...

Families of two-colour Helmholtz spatial solitons
Presentation / Conference
Bostock, C., Christian, J., & McDonald, G. Families of two-colour Helmholtz spatial solitons. Poster presented at Salford Postgraduate Annual Research Conference (SPARC 11), University of Salford, Greater Manchester, UK

Multi-colour spatial solitons comprise localized optical components at distinct temporal frequencies [1]. The
components (which may be bright-like and dark-like) tend to overlap in space, thereby allowing the interplay
between linear spreading (dif... Read More about Families of two-colour Helmholtz spatial solitons.

Helmholtz solitons: a new angle in nonlinear optics
Presentation / Conference
Christian, J., McDonald, G., Chamorro-Posada, P., & Sanchez-Curto, J. Helmholtz solitons: a new angle in nonlinear optics. Poster presented at Nonlinear Photonics Topical Meeting, Quebec City, Canada

We rigorously show that nonparaxial optical beams are not necessarily ultranarrow [1-3]. While existing paraxial
models constrain considerations of broad beams to vanishingly-small propagation angles relative to the longitudinal (i.e. z) direction,... Read More about Helmholtz solitons: a new angle in nonlinear optics.

Chamorro-Posada, P., McDonald, G., Sanchez-Curto, J., & Christian, J. Helmholtz solitons: a new angle in nonlinear science. Presented at Nonlinear Evolution Equations and Dynamical Systems (NEEDS), L’Ametlla de Mar, Spain

The ubiquitous nonlinear SchrÄodinger (NLS) equation models soliton propagation in many di®erent scenarios. In a nutshell, the NLS equation describes the slow modulation of the envelope of a linear wave when propagating in a weakly nonlinear medium....

Christian, J., McDonald, G., & Chamorro-Posada, P. Helmholtz solitons in non-Kerr media. Poster presented at 25th European Quantum Electronics Conference (CLEO Europe/EQEC), Munich, Germany

Spatial optical soliton propagation in a planar waveguide is often modelled by a Non-Linear Schrödinger
(NLS) type equation. Such systems are paraxial in nature, and cannot describe accurately off-axis propagation at nontrivial angles. The NLS equat... Read More about Helmholtz solitons in non-Kerr media.
