Abstract
The combination of linear guiding and nonlinear self-guiding effects present in nonlinear waveguides lead to a variety of phenomena that are absent in linear waveguides. Of particular interest are thresholds in the power dispersion curves for nonlinear modes. These properties and others suggest that nonlinear waveguides may have many uses in optical signal processing. Most of the papers written to date [1] examine isotropic nonlinear guided waves.
