Nonlinear TE-polarized electromagnetic waves in a metal-dielectric plane waveguide

The paper treats a problem of TE-wave propagation in a shielded dielectric layer. The permittivity of the layer is described by Kerr nonlinearity. The propagation problem is reduced to a nonlinear boundary eigenvalue problem for an ordinary differential equation. Spectral parameters of the problem are propagation constants of the waveguide. For the determination of approximate eigenvalues an approach is proposed based on the earlier developed Integral Dispersion Equation Method. Numerical results are presented.
