Local Solutions for Generic Multidimensional Resonant Wave Conversion
arXiv:physics/0305047 · doi:10.1063/1.1638083
Abstract
In more than one spatial dimension, resonant linear conversion from one wave type to another can have a more complex geometry than the familiar 'avoided crossing' of one-dimensional problems. In previous work we have shown that helical ray shapes are generic in a mathematical sense. Here we briefly describe how the local field structure can be computed.
