Vectorial theory of propagation in uniaxially anisotropic media.

We describe propagation in a uniaxially anisotropic medium by relying on a suitable plane-wave angular-spectrum representation of the electromagnetic field. We obtain paraxial expressions for both ordinary and extraordinary components that satisfy two decoupled parabolic equations. As an application, we obtain, for a particular input beam (a quasi-Gaussian beam), analytical results that allow us to identify some relevant features of propagation in uniaxial crystals.

A one- and two-dimensional nonlinear pulse interaction

The peculiar intergrability of the Davey-Stewartson equation allows us to analytically find solutions describing the simultaneous formation and interaction of one-dimensional and two-dimensional localized coherent structures. The predicted phenomenology allows us to address the issue of interaction of solitons of different dimensionality that may serve as a starting point for the understanding of hybrido-dimensional collisions recently observed in nonlinear optical media.
