Helmholtz Bright Spatial Solitons and Surface Waves at Power-Law Optical Interfaces

Figure 2

Comparison of the theoretical Snell's law given by (15a) and (15b) (lines) against full numerical computations (points) for a unit-amplitude ( ) spatial soliton at a linear interface ( ) with and when (a) and (b) . Curves below (above) the line have ( ), so that the refraction is internal (external).
