Transonic flow in an optical analogue of the Laval nozzle

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We study the flow through an optical Laval nozzle by launching a laser beam into a suitably shaped waveguide with Kerr-type defocusing nonlinearity. The experimental design lends itself to laboratory experiments on black hole physics.
