Deflection of a Laser Beam by a Current Carrying Wire

Abstract

We present a novel and simple mechanism which can allow a laser beam propagating in a homogeneous nonlinear medium to be spatially switched. Theoretical calculations for the diffractive propagation of a circularly polarized Gaussian laser beam in sodium vapour are given which show that a current flowing in a single wire can cause significant deflection of a nearby beam.
