Relativistic regimes for dispersive shock-waves in non-paraxial nonlinear optics
arXiv:1412.8602 · doi:10.1016/j.optcom.2015.07.020
Abstract
We investigate the effect of non-paraxiality in the dynamics of dispersive shock waves in the defocusing nonlinear Schroedinger equation. We show that the problem can be described in terms of a relativistic particle moving in a potential. Lowest order corrections enhance the wave-breaking and impose a limit to the highest achievable spectrum in an amount experimentally testable.
