Multimodal unidirectionnal pulse propagation equation

Optics 2019-03-27 v1

Abstract

In this paper, the unidirectional pulse propagation equation generalized to structured media is derived. A fast modal transform linking the spatio-temporal representation of the field and its modal distribution is presented. This transform is used for solving the propagation equation by using a split-step algorithm. As an example, we present, to the best of our knowledge, the first numerical evidence of the generation of conical waves in highly multimodes waveguides.
