Appendix A: Derivation of the Generalized Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation
A.1 Wave Equation in Nonlinear Optics
In order to derive the wave equation for the propagation of light in a nonlinear optical medium, we begin from the Maxwell’s equations for dielectric medium written as follows:
where, are the electric and magnetic fields, respectively. ...
