摘要

Much work has been done to find exact analytic solutions for the electric field of modes in various structures in terms of Jacobian elliptic functions, valid when the intensity-dependent refractive index obeys the Kerr model. This is unrealistic for multiple quantum well (MQW) structures even at moderate power levels due to the saturation of the nonlinearity. This has prompted interest in solving the nonlinear wave equation for modes in saturating materials.;To date, finding the power dependent modes of simple three layer structures in saturable materials has been accomplished in the literature, however either approximate techniques have been employed, such as coupled mode theory, valid only in the limit that the field distribution does not change appreciably over the full range of possible guided wave powers, or an exact technique is used which only derives a dispersion relation from which the effective index of a mode may be found, but no solution of the electric field problem itself has been attempted. Instead, the electric field distribution must be found using a numerical finite difference technique on the wave equation itself.;In this thesis, original exact analytic expressions for the electric field solving the nonlinear wave equation including saturation effects for a lossless saturable Kerr-like medium are, for the first time, found. These solutions are then applied to the coupling layer of a nonlinear directional coupler as a numerical example of their use, both to find the TE power-dependent guided modes of the structure and to determine the corresponding electric field profile of the modes via power-dependent dispersion relations.;The critical power, defined in the literature to be the level of input power above which 100% of the power can not be switched between the guides of a coupler, is shown in this thesis to be the result of a mathematical misinterpretation in both saturable media as well as in nonsaturable Kerr media, leading to the conclusion that the phenomenon of critical power does not actually exist.;Finally, absorptive losses are considered. Differing attenuation coefficients for the symmetric and antisymmetric TE mode leads to less than 100% power transfer at any input power. However, for light which is polarized perpendicular to the plane of the MQW layers (TM modes of the coupler) the hh-exciton absorption peak is almost not active, therefore the hh-exciton completely dominates the absorption spectrum. Hence when the excitation wavelength is close to the hh-exciton peak, the TM mode does not suffer from high absorption, therefore a distinctly different coupling behavior exists for the TM mode as compared with the TE mode, predicting polarization dependent switching in this device.
