Dynamic Nonlinear X-waves for Femtosecond Pulse Propagation in Water
arXiv:physics/0311021 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.92.253901
Abstract
Recent experiments on femtosecond pulses in water displayed long distance propagation analogous to that reported in air. We verify this phenomena numerically and show that the propagation is dynamic as opposed to self-guided. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the propagation can be interpreted as due to dynamic nonlinear X-waves whose robustness and role in long distance propagation is shown to follow from the interplay between nonlinearity and chromatic dispersion.
