Abstract:

We derive unidirectional pulse propagation equations to describe extreme high-intensity and ultra-broadband optical interactions in uniaxial crystals, showing both second- and third-order nonlinear optical susceptivities. Two nonlinearly coupled ºrst order (in the propagation coordinate) equations describe the dynamics and interactions of the ordinary and extraordinary ºeld polarizations, and are valid for arbitrarily wide pulse bandwidth. We exploit this model to predict harmonic and supercontinuum generation in BBO crystals under strong and competing inuence of quadratic and cubic susceptivities.
