Limitations of nonlinear optical isolators due to dynamic reciprocity (2015, methodology): “In the presence of the large forward signal, we see that the field of the small signal satisfies an equation that is of the same form as Maxwell’s equation, with the dielectric function modified as e(r) e(r) + 6e0χ((3))(r) E0 ∣∣ ∣∣2.”
