Abstract

TORRES-CORDOBA, Rafael. Propagation of a photoinduced surface wave along an ideal metal-photorefractive crystal interface. Rev. mex. fis. [online]. 2005, vol.51, n.4, pp.371-378. ISSN 0035-001X.

A mathematical model is developed in order to study self-confinement of the square beam propagating along the boundary of the Ideal Metal-Photorefractive Crystal media. It is shown that the square beam is self-bending and can be balanced by internal reflection at the Photorefractive Crystal surface to result in surface wave formation. Theoretical evidence is given.

Keywords : Spatial solitons (surface waves); interface; boundary conditions; photorefractive crystal.
