Abstract

The evolution of second harmonic generation (SHG) in germanium doped silica planar waveguides is simulated numerically. Based on the asymmetric photoionization model, the total current in the waveguide is taken to be the sum of an asymmetric current and a current due to the resulting dc field. The interplay between these two currents causes the SHG to saturate in time. The saturation of SHG in length is due to diffraction.
