A time-domain beam-propagation method for analyzing pulsed optical beams in second-order nonlinear waveguides

The linear time-domain beam propagation method (TD-BPM) has been extended to model the propagation of pulsed optical beams in second-order nonlinear optical material of integrated waveguides. The coupled nonlinear wave equations have been derived and discretized using the explicit finite-difference...

Description
Summary:The linear time-domain beam propagation method (TD-BPM) has been extended to model the propagation of pulsed optical beams in second-order nonlinear optical material of integrated waveguides. The coupled nonlinear wave equations have been derived and discretized using the explicit finite-difference method. The nonlinear TD-BPM method developed in the present work is very efficient, and is simple to implement.
