A two-dimensional soliton in a positive ion-negative ion plasma

The authors describe a series of experiments performed in a positive ion-negative ion plasma that were designed to study the reflection and focusing properties of solitons. The nonlinear wave was compared with a theoretical model using linear waves. The two-dimensional soliton was created by reflect...

Description
Summary:The authors describe a series of experiments performed in a positive ion-negative ion plasma that were designed to study the reflection and focusing properties of solitons. The nonlinear wave was compared with a theoretical model using linear waves. The two-dimensional soliton was created by reflecting an incident planar soliton from a concave hemispherical surface. The experimental results are interpreted in terms of the linear waves that can exist in a focused Fabry-Perot resonator.< >
