Analyzing multilayer optical waveguide with all nonlinear layers
Abstract:
We propose a general method for analyzing a multilayer optical waveguide with all nonlinear layers. This general method can be degenerated into some special cases, such as symmetric or asymmetric nonlinear optical waveguide structures, the intensity-dependent refractive index with self-focusing nonlinear medium, hollow waveguides, and multilayer systems. Based on this general method, the analysis and calculation of complicated multilayer optical planar waveguides can be achieved easily. The analytical and numerical results show excellent agreement.

Linear Approximation in Frequency Domain
In contrast, nonlinear systems do not inherently possess these properties. However, for small deviations around an operating point, a nonlinear system can often be approximated as linear.

Propagation of Waves
Consider a scenario where a wave propagates from a string of low linear mass density to a string of high linear mass density. In such a case, the reflected wave is out of phase with respect to the incident wave, however the...
