Sub-Wavelength Nonlinear Accelerating Beams

Optics 2012-04-27 v1 Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics

Abstract

We show that optical nonlinearities allow sub-wavelength beams to propagate in circular trajectories without being attenuated in spite of their partially evanescent spectrum. Such beams are exact solutions to Maxwell's equations with Kerr or saturable nonlinearity.
