A basic equation, describing the temporal evolution of fields in a chiral medium with Kerr non-linearity is used to study the effects resulting from the combined action of chirality and non-linearity on optical solitons. The spatial chirality effect is characterized through the Born-Fedorov formalism. Simulations are based in the split-step Fourier method and the numerical results show the chiral...
We present the main aspects of Weber’s electrodynamics and of Maxwell’s equations. We discuss Maxwell’s point of view related to Weber’s electrodynamics. We compare Weber’s force with Lorentz’s force. We analyse the relation between Weber’s law and Maxwell’s equations. Finally, we discuss some experiments performed and proposed with which we can distinguish Weber’s force from Lorentz’s one.
