Beam-propagation method for second-harmonic generation in waveguides with birefringent materials
نویسندگان
چکیده
Finite difference equations are given for second-harmonic generation in two-dimensional planar structures for coupling between TE polarizations at two frequencies as well as for TM polarizations at two frequencies, including the effect of birefringence in the latter case. Attention is given to obtaining accurate expressions for the finite difference operators for points close to interfaces, and it is shown how the equations for nonlinear coupling can be incorporated into the beam-propagation method and the coupled-mode theory. Computational results of second-harmonic generation incorporating both the coupled mode theory and the beampropagation method are given and discussed. © 1997 Optical Society of America [S0740-3224(97)04607-9]

We analyze the phase-matching conditions for second-harmonic generation (SHG) and optical parametric oscillation (OPO) in birefringent nonlinear semiconductor waveguides and apply these results to the model system of ZnGeP2 on a GaP substrate. The analyses and numerical results show that phase matching can be achieved for OPO and SHG for reasonable guide thicknesses throughout much of the infra...
