Abstract
Cylindrical electromagnetic waves propagation in inhomogeneous and nonlinear media is of great interest for theory and application, and is an extremely complicated problem which can be described by the cylindrical nonlinear Maxwell equations. In this paper, we propose a method to exactly solve the cylindrical Maxwell equations in various types of inhomogeneous nonlinear media without dispersion. The obtained solutions can be used to describe the evolution of nonlinear oscillatory system and the interaction between two radiation waves in nonlinear media. We also show some nonlinear effects, such as second harmonic generation, and sum- and difference-frequency generation, result quite naturally from the solutions.
