electromagnetic shock wave

[i¦lek·trō·mag′ned·ik ′shäk ‚wāv]

Electromagnetic wave of great intensity which results when waves with different intensities propagate with different velocities in a nonlinear optical medium, and faster-traveling waves from a pulse of light catch up with preceding, slower traveling waves.
