TLDR
In this paper, the phase of the refraction coefficient is a multi-valued function of the angle of incidence and power of the incident wave, and it is shown that the phase is a multiview function.
Abstract
We consider total internal reflection of a monochromatic plane wave from an isotropic nonlinear medium with cubic nonlinearity. Hodograph of the electric field is found from the expression for energy density of the field. Possible values of angle of incidence are found. Essential differences between waves in focusing and defocusing media are pointed out and discussed. It is shown that the phase of the refraction coefficient is a multi-valued function of the angle of incidence and power of the incident wave.

Exact field decomposition for TM waves in nonlinear media.

TL;DR: It is shown that the electric field components E(x) and E(z) of a transverse magnetic wave propagating in a nonlinear medium can be formally decomposed through a conservation law, provided that partial differentialxx/ partial differentialE(z)(2) = partial differentialzz/ partial DifferentialE(x)(2).

Analysis of TM Polarized Nonlinear Guided Waves Based on a Conservation Law

K. Gniadek, +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the properties of the transverse magnetic TE-polarized guided waves in nonlinear layered structures, where the presence of two electric field components, one parallel and one orthogonal, to the boundaries of a thin film guiding structure makes the analysis of TM waves more complicated than for transverse electric TE polarized waves.
