title: Analyzing multilayer optical waveguide with all nonlinear layers.
abstract: We propose a general method for analyzing a multilayer optical waveguide with all nonlinear layers. This general method can be degenerated into some special cases, such as symmetric or asymmetric nonlinear optical waveguide structures, the intensity-dependent refractive index with self-focusing nonlinear medium, hollow waveguides, and multilayer systems. Based on this general method, the analysis and calculation of complicated multilayer optical planar waveguides can be achieved easily. The analytical and numerical results show excellent agreement.
