Abstract:
We examine the 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 for a transition to Hamiltonian chaos for different amplitudes of lightwaves at the boundary of the crystal.
