Abstract

Local mode theory for two counterpropagating waves in nonlinear waveguides is formulated. This model allows us to describe the transverse effects as well as the counterpropagating waves interaction in optical waveguides. The results are applied to the analysis of the nonlinear Fabry-Perot waveguide resonator and are compared with the conventional coupled mode theory solution.
