摘要：

A nonlinear semivectorial beam propagation method based on the finite element method is presented. It applies to three-dimensional optical waveguides and accounts for polarization effects. To show the usefulness of this approach numerical results regarding both E-x (quasi-TE) and E-y (quasi-TM) waves are presented for directional couplers with nonlinear cores. The limits of scalar formulations are highlighted especially when working near and above the coupler threshold power.
