8. See EPAPS Document No. E-PLRAAN-76-029710 for two numerical and three experimental movies. In the numerical ones the evolution of the field intensity in the x-z plane is shown for two different values of the parameters. The experimental ones show the intensity field in the transverse plane for three dynamical regimes. For more information on EPAPS, see http://www.aip.org/ pubservs/epaps.html.
