Notes:
Exact theory of field propagation in stratified Kerr media is developed. Making use of thin-layer approximation applied to plane waves, we solve the nonlinear Maxwell–Kerr equation within a thin slab. From this we construct the characteristic matrix of the Kerr medium and derive the amplitude-dependent wave vectors. The advantages of the method are that the equations are rigorous, simple to implement, and analogous with the linear theory. We also present a thick-layer approximation and solve a layered example numerically. Both polarizations, transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM), are considered separately. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
