Optical chaos in nonlinear photonic crystals
We examine a spatial evolution of lightwaves in a nonlinear photonic crystal
with a quadratic nonlinearity when simultaneously a second harmonic and a
sum-frequency generation are quasi-phase-matched. We find the conditions of a
transition to Hamiltonian chaos for different amplitudes of lightwaves at the
boundary of the crystal.Comment: LaTEX2e, 5 pages, 4 figure
