ABSTRACT:
Experimental studies of a nonlinear interface have indicated that saturation of the nonlinear refractive index may play a critical role in controlling the transition from total internal reflection to nearly total transmission. Numerical simulations of the behavior of a saturated nonlinear interface confirm that saturation effects can dramatically improve transmitted beam shape and switching quality.
