Abstract EN
In presence of weakly nonlinear media, it is tempting to neglect pump wave depletion when calculating the intensity of the various generated nonlinear components.
However, even in the case of very weak pump wave depletion conditions, an optical structure that allows multipass optical paths, such as high finesse multilayer microcavities, could lead to significant cumulative pump wave depletion.
In such conditions, neglecting pump depletion might lead to large computational errors.
A matrix formalism devoted to such pump depletion in planar layered nonlinear structures without resort to the “bound” and “free” waves concept is described.
A general approach that makes use of “intrinsic” and “extrinsic” waves concept is given, through a slight modification of the canonical propagation matrix.
The theoretical results show that even in the case of very weak pump depletion conditions, the cumulative effect due to confinement actually leads to very significant effects.
It turns out that taking into account the pump depletion is mandatory for numerous experimental conditions.
This matrix formalism applies to absorbing media, and is extensible to include the case of anisotropic layers and cascading effects.
