title: Nonstationary simulation of nonlinearly coupled TE-TM waves propagating down dielectric slab structures by the step-by-step finite-element method.
abstract: Propagation phenomena of two nonlinearly coupled orthogonal waves in a slab waveguide are demonstrated numerically. It is shown that the propagation behavior is strongly dependent on the particular nonlinear mechanism as well as on the optical power allotted to each polarization component.
