Analyzing the multilayer metamaterial waveguide structure with the Kerr-type nonlinear cladding

摘要

A general method for analyzing the multilayer metamaterial optical waveguides with the Kerr-type nonlinear cladding was proposed. To prove the accuracy of the proposed general method, a degenerated example was introduced. The analytical and numerical results show excellent agreement. The similar process can also be used to analyze TM waves propagating in the multilayer metamaterial waveguide structure with the Kerr-type nonlinear cladding.
