Abstract

We present the possibility of light beam-propagation control in a Kerr nonlinear medium through the efficient management of magnetically-induced linear and circular birefringences. Theoretical analyses, performed by dint direct numerical simulations of modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation, as well as by means of variational approximation, show consistent results.
