Abstract

A theory of nonlinear TE-polarized surface waves propagating along the flat interfaces of a symmetric flat three-layer structure with a linear core and nonlinear coatings is developed. The coatings are nonlinear due to the optical exciton-biexciton conversion. The dispersion laws of the propagating waves are found and analyzed.
