Self-bending of a spatially asymmetric CO2 laser beam in CS2

Abstract

An intense transversely symmetric laser beam impinging on a prism with a nonlinear material exhibits intensity-dependent deflection.1 Conversely, a light with spatially nonuniform intensity distribution over its cross section is subject to self-bending while propagating through a nonlinear media.2 The self-bending is in the direction in which the refraction is maximal, i.e., in the direction of maximal intensity in the media with a positive nonlinear refractive index n2.
