Abstract

A simple and easily programmable approach based on the resonance method has been developed for analysing the nonlinear interaction between TE and TM waves. The model is oriented to be applicable to complicated nonlinear interactive problems, such as multilayer dielectric structures with arbitrary nonlinear media, two-dimensional nonlinear guides, nonisotropic nonlinear media, etc. In this paper, the five-layer waveguiding configuration containing two nonlinear media, along with a linear film of arbitrary refractive index profile, is treated.

The dielectric tensor considered is of more general nonlinearity and not only the Kerr type. The theory is illustrated by a set of numerical results in which loci of interactive waves in the βTEβ−TE plane, field profiles and guided powers are presented. Some useful conclusions are derived.
