Nonparaxial refraction laws in optics:from non-Kerr interfaces to waveguide arrays

0

TL;DRAbstract

Angular effects play a central role in essentially all non-trivial optical configurations, and can be well-described within a Helmholtz-type nonparaxial framework. We report recent results modelling spatial solitons interacting with cubic-quintic material interfaces, and extend related considerations to periodically-patterned optical media.
