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

Figure 3

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 nonlinear interface ( ) with and when (a) and (b) . Curves below (above) the line are labelled by the right-hand (left-hand) legend and have ( ) so that refraction is internal (external). Note that the numerical datapoints for and are very close together in both panes.
