Hw. Schurmann, ON THE THEORY OF TE-POLARIZED WAVES GUIDED BY A NONLINEAR 3-LAYER STRUCTURE, Zeitschrift fur Physik. B, Condensed matter, 97(4), 1995, pp. 515-522
TE-polarized electromagnetic waves guided by a three-layer structure c
onsisting of a film surrounded by semi-infinite media (all media are c
haracterized by a Kerr-like dielectric function) are investigated by e
xpressing the solution of the field equations in terms of Weierstrass'
elliptic functions. Evaluation leads to a universal dispersion relati
on and its solutions and a universal expression for the power flow. Nu
merical results are presented for the effective wave number as a funct
ion of the intensity of the electric field at the lower surface of the
nonlinear film, for various profiles of the field intensity, and for
the power flow as a function of the effective wave number.
