Te-waves guided by arbitrary nonlinear dielectrics bounded by linear media

Considerable interest is currently being devoted to nonlinear propagation in dielectric slab waveguides for integrated optics and millimetric applications. Much of the current work is based on Kerr-like ( E ²) nonlinear media and numerically discussed. We present a exact solution of TE-waves for arbitrary nonlinear dielectric ( |E| ). We applicate this solution to the planar nonlinear optic waveguides and the dispersion relations are given. The results show that the propagation constants are a function of the field magnitude.Supported by deutscher akademischer austauschdienst (DAAD)He is now with Dept.
