Periodic Reporting for period 1 - SOUNDCONE (Scattering and Amplification of fundamental photonic-hydrodynamic excitations in Kerr non-linear media)

The problem being investigated---Intense light beams propagating in nonlinear defocusing media behave identically to fluids. The governing evolution equations for small oscillations on top of the light beam are indeed the same as those for waves propagating on the surface of a...
