Six-wave interaction in multimode waveguides with Kerr nonlinearity with allowance for the Gaussian structure of pump waves by V.V. Ivakhnik, D.R. Kapizov, V.I. Nikonov

“…The quality of wavefront conjugation in the case of six-wave interaction in two-dimensional multimode waveguides with Kerr nonlinearity is analyzed under the condition that one of the pump waves excites a zero waveguide mode and the amplitude distribution of the other pump wave at the waveguide end facet varies according to the Gauss law. It is shown that in a waveguide with infinitely conducting walls, the half-width of the modulus of the point spread function of a six-wave radiation converter is completely determined by the transverse size of the waveguide and weakly depends on the width of the Gaussian pump wave. …”
