Abstract
The diffraction of optical waves by transparent and opaque cylinders formed by laser beams in defocusing nonlinear media has been investigated for the first time. The wave flow around a single beam (cylinder) and wave signal percolation through the slits formed by closely spaced laser beams have been numerically modeled.
