Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution

Abstract

It is shown that optomechanical forces can cause nonlinear self-channelling of light in two parallel silica nanowebs suspended inside a fibre capillary. The effective optical nonlinearity is a million times higher than the Kerr effect.
