Nonlinear waveguides
Author
Summary, in English
We investigate the propagation of electromagnetic waves in a waveguide filled
with a nonlinear material. The electromagnetic field is expanded in the usual
eigenmodes of the waveguide, and the coupling between the modes is quanti
fied. We derive the wave equations governing each mode, with special emphasis
on the situation with a dominant TE-mode. The result is a strictly
hyperbolic system of nonlinear partial differential equations for the dominating
mode, whereas the minor modes satisfy hyperbolic systems of linear,
nonstationary, partial differential equations. A growth estimate is given for
the minor modes.
