Abstract :
In this paper the method of lines is applied to simulate the electromagnetic field propagation in an optical dielectric nonlinear planar waveguide, with saturation of the refractive index. A comparison of the solutions obtained with the method of lines and the beam propagation method (which uses paraxial approximation) is performed
