We generalize the expressions for 1D waveguide to 2 dimensions and focus on the calculation of power coupled into a waveguide from a Gaussian beam.

Ultrafast optics

We look at the third order nonlinear effect and uses for Kerr lenses.

4 wave mixing

We use coupled mode analysis to investigate the field amplitudes in three wave mixing, and look at the effect of phase mismatch on the conversion efficiency of nonlinear processes.

Nonlinear Wave Equation

We look at the phase matching condition for Second Harmonic Generation and also do a tuning curve example for an OPO
