Abstract
In this paper, we present calculations describing the fundamental and higher-order stationary nonlinear surface waves that exist at the boundary between a nonlinear self-focusing medium and a uniaxial linear medium. Purely TE or TM solutions do not exist. The solutions obtained are elliptically polarized, and the polarization varies as a function of the transverse coordinate normal to the dielectric interface plane. As a result, these nonlinear surface waves exhibit the phenomenon of a self-walkoff in the Poynting vector. Power dispersion curves and simple analytic expressions for the surface wave threshold as a function of the angle between the crystal axis and propagation direction for the surface wave are obtained and presented.
