Properties of Finite Amplitude Electromagnetic Waves propagating in the Quantum Vacuum

We study two counter-propagating electromagnetic waves in the vacuum within the framework of the Heisenberg-Euler formalism in quantum electrodynamics. We show that the non-linear field equations decouple for ordinary wave case and can be solved exactly. We solve the non-linear field equations assum...
