Abstract
In this paper, we have solved nonlinear coupled-mode equations valid for light propagation in a one-dimensional photonic crystal by using numerical expression. Moreover, the medium in this problem has been considered as a nonlinear x (3) material. The numerical results have been used to calculate the conversion efficiency in nondepleted-pump limit. The results have been shown us that the maximum conversion efficiency of third-harmonic generation could be occurred when the fundamental field has been tuned near the lower band-edge of photonic band-gap that band-edge phase matched condition has been satisfied. © 2013 SPIE.
