Nonlinear guided-wave devices: new developments

Abstract

A large variety of new phenomena become possible when one or more of the media in which an optical beam is guided exhibit field-dependent refractive indices.1 These indices can be divided into two categories: (1) waveguide systems in which both the field distributions and the guided-wave wave vector are power-dependent; and (2) systems in which only the power-dependent guided-wave wave vector is important. For device analysis, the latter requires detailed consideration of a nonlinear wave equation, whereas the former can be treated using coupled-mode theory.
