Hysteresis reflection and refraction by a nonlinear boundary - a new class of effects in nonlinear optics
A new effect is predicted—hysteresis jumps of the reflection and refraction of a strong wave at the boundary of a nonlinear medium. The jumps are due to transitions of the wave to a regime of total internal reflection and back. In the case of small nonlinearity, they should be observed at a small difference between the dielectric constants of the two media and at small grazing angles.
