Abstract
We consider nonlinear optical systems describing the propagation of beams in Kerr-type nonlinear media, experiencing diffraction in transverse and longitudinal directions. The first model investigated, under nonparaxial approximation, is the complex nonlinear Helmholtz equation, recast into a coupled, real system of partial differential equations. We construct and apply its conserved vectors to determine exact solutions. This approach of a double reduction combines a point symmetry with a particular conservation law to enact a reduction and derive solutions. A second model is also studied, that is related to the Maxwell’s equations under paraxial approximation — a version of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We show that when the paraxial effect vanishes, a number of additional exact solutions and conservation laws are admitted.
