Solution to Helmholtz coupled amplitude equations of nonlinear optics in the nondepleted-pump approximation

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Boundary-value solutions are constructed for Helmholtz equations, which describe parametric oscillation, stimulated Raman scattering, four-wave mixing, amplified reflection, and phase conjugation in the nondepleted-pump-field approximation, in nonlinear media with high indices of refraction where matching at both right and left boundary interfaces is important, and in thin films of less than a wavelength thickness. The present method is compared with the slowly-varying-envelope approximation, and can be used to check the regime of validity of the approximation.
