The operating frequency is properly chosen to be located at the edge of the dispersion diagram of the modes. In case of nonlinear medium when the amplitude of the injected signal is above some threshold value, solitons are formed and they are propagating inside the coupled nonlinear PCWs. Near field distributions of the light pulse and the output powers of the registered signals are studied in a detail. A good agreement between the numerical and theoretical studies is observed.","PeriodicalId":277112,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Electromagnetics in Advanced Applications (ICEAA)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125173711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In most cases, the generated magnetic field is not homogeneous, even though a homogeneous distribution would be advantageous for certain applications. Recently, an algorithm was proposed to calculate the distribution of the current traces of a planar coil to generate a homogeneous magnetic field. The algorithm gives excellent results, but is limited to about ten current traces because of instabilities of the algorithm. In this paper, we propose an improvement to the algorithm by using the generalized minimal residual method. Our improved numerical procedure eliminates the restriction on the number of traces and leads to a more accurate description of the desired current distribution in order to obtain a homogeneous vertical magnetic field.","PeriodicalId":277112,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Electromagnetics in Advanced Applications (ICEAA)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133495479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
