Abstract

A simple and easily programmable approach based on the resonance method has been developed for analysing optical waves guided by complicated configurations such as multilayer dielectric structures with arbitrary nonlinear media. In this formulation both TE and TM polarizations are considered. In the present paper, as an example of the resonance technique application, the five-layer waveguiding configuration, including two arbitrary nonlinear media along with a linear film of arbitrary profile, is treated. Numerical results are presented in the form of guided power versus propagation constant for various parameters of the problem.
