TE and TM interactive waves in successive nonKerr nonlinear dielectric planar layer structures

The interactive TE and TM modes in the most general case of a multilayer nonlinear optical waveguide consisting of successive nonKerr nonlinear media are herewith presented. The structure we consider here consists of three successive nonlinear films in a linear environment. A discussion of the numerical results indicates that the existence of the inner nonlinear layer may cause significant perturbation in the interactive areas of the βTE − βTM plane as computed with simpler models.
