Abstract

Numerical simulations of two-dimensional beam propagation in polydiacetylene para-toluene sulfonate measured values for n(2) > 9 and n(3) < 0, where Delta n = n(2)I + n(3)I(2), predict stable self-trapping and a new phenomenon in which a spatial ring evolves from a Gaussian input beam. We interpret the numerical results theoretically, using the variational model of nonlinear Gaussian beam propagation. (C) 1995 Optical Society of America
