Rigorous Full-Vectorial Beam Propagation Analysis of Second-Harmonic Generation in Zinc Oxide Waveguides

In this paper, a rigorous full-vectorial finite-element (FE)-based beam propagation method (BPM) has been implemented to study second-harmonic generation (SHG) in planar zinc oxide (ZnO) waveguides for the first time. It is shown here that the SHG output power is significantly improved when the wave...
