Abstract

The Split-Field Finite-Difierence Time-Domain (SF- FDTD) formulation is extended to periodic structures with Kerr-type nonlinearity. The optical Kerr efiect is introduced by an iterative flxed- point procedure for solving the nonlinear system of equations. Using the method, formation of solitons inside homogenous nonlinear media is numerically observed. Furthermore, the performance of the approach with more complex photonic systems, such as high-re∞ectance coatings and binary phase gratings with high nonlinearity is investigated. The static and the dynamic behavior of the Kerr efiect is studied and compared to previous works.
