Geometrically induced non-linear phenomena of the TE11-mode in a rectangular optical waveguide

• Retaining all significant terms of Maxwell equations, we derive a gener-alized governing equation for waves in a Kerr-nonlinear, rectangulai optical waveguide. As a specific example, we show that the field com-ponents of the TEn-mode in such a waveguide will achieve oscillations in both amplitude and phase during propagation. The nonlinearity appeal only in a characteristic length scale of these phenomena, whereas tht overall properties of the oscillations are determined by the waveguidt geometry.
