Wavelength domains in bulk Kerr media

Abstract

Presented in this paper is a preliminary study of wavelength domains, both as stationary solitary wave solutions and as dynamically evolving structures. The optical phenomena in two transverse dimensions that arise from nonlinear coupling between two or more copropagating beams of different wavelengths in self defocusing, isotropic Kerr media have been considered. It was found that the different wavelengths form distinct, stable domain type solitary waves bordered by sharp domain walls that are analogous to PDW's. Show more
