Nonlinear Effects of Electromagnetic TM Wave Propagation in Anisotropic Layer with Kerr Nonlinearity

الملخص EN

The problem of electromagnetic TM wave propagation through a layer with Kerr nonlinearity is considered.

The layer is located between two half-spaces with constant permittivities.

This electromagnetic problem is reduced to the nonlinear boundary eigenvalue problem for ordinary differential equations.

It is necessary to find eigenvalues of the problem (propagation constants of an electromagnetic wave).

The dispersion equation (DE) for the eigenvalues is derived.

The DE is applied to nonlinear metamaterial as well.

Comparison with a linear case is also made.

In the nonlinear problem there are new eigenvalues and new eigenwaves.

Numerical results are presented.
