<p>A model with nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation used for describing pulse propagations in photopolymers is considered. We focus on a case in which change of refractive index is proportional to the square of amplitude of the electric field and consider 2-dimensional spatial domain. After formal derivation of the NLS approximation from the wave-Maxwell equation, we establish well-posedness and perform rigorous justification analysis to show smallness of error terms for appropriately small time intervals. We conclude by numerical simulation to illustrate the results in one-dimensional case.</p> / Master of Science (MSc)
