Asymmetric Modes in Symmetric Nonlinear Optical Waveguides

Asymmetric Modes in Symmetric Nonlinear Optical Waveguides

We study a symmetric nonlinear value problem in all R, arising in nonlinear optics from the study of propagation of electromagnetic guided waves through a layered medium with a nonlinear response. By variational arguments, we prove the existence of a positive asymmetric solution of the problem, corr...

Zusammenfassung:We study a symmetric nonlinear value problem in all R, arising in nonlinear optics from the study of propagation of electromagnetic guided waves through a layered medium with a nonlinear response. By variational arguments, we prove the existence of a positive asymmetric solution of the problem, corresponding to an asymmetric guided wave.
