Abstract
The local mode theory for two copropagating and two counterpropagating waves in nonlinear waveguides is formulated. The presented model allo ws us to describe the inverse effects as well as the propagating waves interaction in optical waveguides. The results are compared with the conventional coupled mode theory solution and they can be applied to t he analysis of such devices like nonlinear directional couplers and wa veguide Fabry-Perot resonators.
