Abstract:
We consider pulse propagation in quadratically nonlinear gratings. Assuming that the phase mismatch between the fundamental and the second-harmonic frequencies deltak is large, we present a perturbation method in deltak(-1). In the well known cascading limit, terms to deltak(-1) are kept; here we keep terms to deltak(-2), which leads to another type of coupled mode equations. Numerical calculation of the full equations support our theoretical results.
