Experimental and theoretical research exploring the nonlinear properties of periodic structures has intensified over the past decade within a diverse range of materials utilizing both second and third order effects. Recently we studied the nonlinear transmission characteristics of high intensity pulses propagating through 4-10 mm long gratings etched into ridge waveguides formed in AlGaAs.
