A two-dimensional theoretical model is constructed to describe optical mode-locking (ML) in quadratically nonlinear waveguide arrays (QWGAs). Steady-state solutions of the considered model are obtained by a modified pseudo-spectral renormalization algorithm, and the mode-locking dynamics of the model are investigated through direct simulation of the nonlinear evolution and a linear stability analysis of the solutions. It is shown that stable mode-locking of elliptic steady-state solutions in quadratically nonlinear waveguide arrays are possible for a wide range of parameters, suggesting that quadratically nonlinear materials are well suited for producing stable mode-locked states for a wide range of applications.

A theoretical model is developed to characterize spatiotemporal mode locking (ML) in quadratic nonlinear media. The model is based on the two-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation with coupling to a mean term (NLSM) and constructed as an extension of the master mode-locking model. It is numerically demonstrated that there exists steady-state soliton solutions of the ML-NLSM model that are astigmatic in nature.
