Abstract
Propagation of cylindrical waves in homogeneous and inhomogeneous nonlinear optical media has been investigated theoretically. The coupled-wave equations for a homogeneous and inhomogeneous nonlinear media have been investigated numerically. For homogeneous media, calculations show that phase-matching condition is not fulfilled and efficiency of output wave is very low, but for inhomogeneous media, phase-matching condition is nearly fulfilled and the generated wave amplitude of the four-wave mixing (FWM) is much larger than the homogeneous media. The effect of effective nonlinear optical coefficient [Formula: see text] on the generated wave amplitude for inhomogeneous media has been investigated.
