Abstract
A generalized nonlinear Helmholtz equation is used in this study to describe the evolution of solitons at the interface of two Kerr focusing media. Analytical results show that the relationship between transverse velocities and angles in the nonparaxial theory leads to a remarkably compact Helmholtz generalization of Snell´s law.
