Abstract
A plane interface can serve as a simple scheme guiding electromagnetic waves. It is well known that there are no surface TE waves at the plane interface of two linear isotropic media. Using the focusing nonlinearity (of Kerr-type) one can construct the interface-localized solution of the Maxwell equations.1-3 In our paper4 the analysis of two-dimensional steady-state and dynamic transformations of Gaussian electromagnetic beams propagating along the interface between linear and nonlinear media into nonlinear sunface waves is made. The present work is concerned with solving the three-dimensional problem of propagation of Gaussian optical beams along plane interface of nonlinear medium.
