Excitation of nonlinear surface modes by wave beams

Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

We consider the interaction of 2-D and 3-D wave beams with an interface between linear and nonlinear media. The range of parameters of Gaussian beams exciting nonlinear surface waves (NSW) with high efficiency is analytically determined. Different regimes of NSW excitation are numerically studied. Analytical data are in good agreement with numerical results.
