Perfectly matched layers in photonics computations: 1D and 2D nonlinear coupled mode equations

by T. Dohnal and T. Hagstrom

(Report number 2006-12)

Abstract
Extending the general approach for first-order hyperbolic systems developed in [5], we construct PML equations for the mixed-type system governing propagation of optical wave packets in both 1D and 2D Bragg resonant photonic waveguides with a cubic nonlinearity, i.e. the Coupled Mode Equations. We prove that the layer equations are stable, absorbing, and perfectly matched. A number of numerical experiments are performed to assess the layer's performance in both the linear and nonlinear regimes.
