Time-Domain Beam Propagation Method for Nonlinear Optical Propagation Analysis and Its Application to Photonic Crystal Circuits

A time-domain beam propagation method based on a finite element scheme is newly formulated for nonlinear optical propagation analysis. A nonlinear photonic crystal grating structure is proposed, and the optical limiting and switching are demonstrated.
