Nonlinear Self-Similar Beams of Electromagnetic Waves in Vacuum

2015 
We study nonlinear beams of electromagnetic waves in vacuum. Within the lowest approximation, their structure is determined by the cubic self-focusing nonlinearity, which manifests itself with the maximum intensity in the presence of counterpropagating waves. It is shown that the fields in the beams have no singularities if their power is less than the critical power of the self-focusing. The dependences of the eigenfrequencies of the modes of the quasioptical resonator on the beam power are found. The structure of the fields of these modes corresponds to self-similar wave beams.
