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. |
