Abstract: An integrated optic structure is proposed in order to make Kerr-like nonlinear interactions practical for optical signal processing applications. The interacting electric fields propagates as different modes of a multimode waveguide, and couple to each other or cause a nonlinear cross-gain or cross-phase modulation through the nonlinear dielectric permittivity perturbation caused by the propagating fields. Integrated optic mode combiners/mode splitters provide a way to spatially separate/combine the interacting fields, negating the need for spectral filtering in nonlinear interactions like four-wave mixing. This concept is applicable to all types of Kerr-like materials, but is particularly attractive for realizing novel devices, based on the large carrier nonlinearities in semiconductors.
