Abstract :
We present a simple and flexible method for a rigorous description of nonlinear phenomena in photonic systems, well suited to model integrated and photonic crystal structures. We also show that the results of classical experiments allow for an accurate prediction of quantum correlated photon-pair generation efficiencies, opening a path to move from classical to quantum nonlinear optics in integrated photonic structures.
